Mobile phone film men sentenced

Three men arrested after an assault on a 14-year-old girl, which was filmed on mobile phones, have been given a total of almost 500 hours community service.

"... The court heard that the victim, who is now 16, had attended a party at her friend's home in Knightswood in the west of Glasgow on 11 June 2005.

The teenager said she had drunk two vodkas and some beer before she passed out.

The court was shown two clips recorded on mobile phone cameras at the party.

One of the men had shown footage from the party to colleagues. The first showed the youngster being humiliated and taunted as she lay on a couch and in the second she was indecently assaulted.

... No-one was found guilty of actually filming the attack on the girl."
