In March 2020, two drug dealing Preston Grooming Gang members were sent to jail for raping two vulnerable school girls – one of which woke up to find herself ‘being used like a rag doll’.
Ben Thompson and Mark Anderson were both found guilty of rape and given 20 year sentences.
The vile men from the Preston Grooming Gang gave one of the victims, then 15, vodka, wine and drugs, before they told her she had been ‘given things’ so she had to pay them back.
In turn she was raped by Mark Anderson and then Ben Thompson. But the brave young victim managed to fight the second man off by biting his genitals.
Mark Anderson also raped a second teenager who had passed out from using drugs. The abuse was watched by other paedophile friends of Ben Thompson and Mark Anderson who ‘saw and found it amusing’, a court heard.
