Two men have been jailed for a combined 25 years after both being found guilty of the rape of a then-16-year-old girl in 2021.
Adilson Domingos, now 42, and Baxton Atenis, now 29, approached the girl on a night out with her friend. They coerced her into a car and drove her to a spot in South Tottenham, where they raped her.
The victim left the house the next morning and called the police.
The two men were found guilty of rape at Wood Green Crown Court in February this year. On Monday (July 1), Domingos was sentenced to 13 years, and Atenis to 12.
DC Daniella Biggins: “Domingos and Atenis are highly dangerous, predatory individuals who targeted a young girl and isolated her from her friends before raping her.
“With the support of her wonderful family and friends, the victim showed immense courage and bravery in supporting a police investigation. I would like to personally thank her for the strength she has shown, and also to the witnesses who provided evidence.
“I can only hope the conviction goes some way to providing closure to the victim after what was a horrific experience, whilst also being a part of keeping these dangerous individuals off the streets.
“I would encourage anyone who is victim or witness to sexual assault, to contact police. You will be listened to and specially trained officers will support you through any criminal investigation.
“There is zero tolerance for such serious offences and this conviction serves as a reminder that those who commit such horrific offences will be found and put before the courts to face justice.”
