Three men who committed sexual offences against a 15-year-old schoolgirl girl have all been spared jail - after she was groomed online, lured into a van and orally raped while footage of her being abused was livestreamed.
Michael Linfoot, 24, Callum Hesketh, 24, and Thomas Rae, 24, all of Chorley in Greater Manchester, were all convicted of offences in 2018 on Thursday.
According to police, the girl was originally messaged by Hesketh on social media in April 2018 and asked for a threesome, which she declined.
Over the next few weeks he continued to call and message her and persuaded her to pose in 'different sexual positions' while he masturbated.
Two months later on June 16, the victim and her friend got a lift with Hesketh and Linfoot, who were both 18 at the time, in Linfoot's van and the pair drove them to Rivington in exchange for alcoholic drinks.
