Two men have been jailed for raping three young girls at house parties they threw for “vulnerable youngsters” in Plymouth in December 2017.
Abalzaq Salih, 31, from Plymouth, was given a 19-year sentence for two counts of rape of two victims.
Saif Kahya, 32, from Liverpool, was given 12 years for the rape of another teenager.
Sentencing at Plymouth Crown Court, Judge Peter Johnson said the case had “brought back extremely painful memories” for those involved and it took “commendable inner strength” for them to come forward.
The court heard how the pair had given the girls, who were aged 16 and under at the time, drugs and alcohol at parties they had thrown.
