At St Albans Crown Cour, Judge Stephen Warner passes judgement on two teenage girls and 2 other guys for the kidnap and torture of a 14-year-old who was kidnapped on her way to school and tortured for 17 hours by two the teenage girls who held a knife to her throat and made her strip while recording the ordeal on their mobile phones.
The acts of 'degradation and violence' towards the terrified teenager were encouraged by two youths - one who arrived at the flat and another who urged on Caylen Candy and Chyanne Powell via social media.
Here is the story
Candy and Powell, now both 18, had been drinking for 12 hours when they went out intending to rob children on their way to school. They came across the victim, who was in her uniform and did not know either of them.
Candy by the left and Powell by the right.
She was taken to Powell's flat in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, where she was made to strip and was filmed as bits of her hair were chopped off.
The girl also had a knife put to her throat as she was made to shave off her pubic hair, forced to carry out a sex act on herself and to sit in a freezing cold bath.
Her head was pushed under the water for up to 10 seconds on three occasions, her body was written over and table salt poured down her throat, St Albans Crown Court heard last Friday.
Afterwards she was made to clean out the bath and was forced to drink alcohol and smoke.
Prosecutor Michael Speak said Candy and Powell made films, stills and audio recordings. Candy was recorded as saying: 'You will get killed if you snitch us.'
Two other guys got their palms dirty on this case by passing awful comments on the 14 year old girl when her abductors sent the images to them. One of the guys, Sanjay Kalia, 18, who responded with comments such as: 'You lot should f*** her up,' and 'Make the most of it - she is p****'
He went on: 'I would cut her breast. LOL. I would carve my name on her back.'
The second guy, David Appiah arrived at the flat and was shown photos of the girl naked. He said, 'Make her strip. I am bored.' Powell laughed.
Appiah went on: 'Or make her do press ups. You are her boss.' He went on: 'She is p****** me off. Make her fully strip.'
He described the girl as 'the worm' and said: 'I don't want to f*** her. I have standards.'
