 so that she could be "s****** and tagged" on Facebook.

Jurors were told that three rapists took snaps of the 18-year-old on a mobile and told her: "You are going to be s****** and tagged on Facebook".

The three accused are alleged to have invited the girl back to one of their flats to play on a Wii after they met in a pub in Colchester, Essex, but when they got there, things turned nasty.

The three friends allegedly took turns raping the girl, egging each other on as two raped her and another sexually assaulted her with a bottle of beer.

The jury at Chelmsford Crown Court was told the mother of one of the accused is also said to have been at the flat at the time of the incident.

The girl was "effectively ejected" from the flat in a distressed state at about 5am and she rang police straight away.

When cops arrested the suspects later that day they were asleep together on the same double bed where the attack is said to have happened.

The defendants all deny the charges and claim the girl consented to the sexual activity.

Prosecutor Richard Potts Richard Potts (July 19, 1753–November 26, 1808) was an American politician and jurist. Early life and career
Potts was born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and lived there until he moved with his family to the Barbados Islands in 1757.
 in his opening address to the jury said the girl was drunk, her blood alcohol level was probably about 187mg and the driving limit is 80.

The girl told police she felt she was passing in and out of consciousness at the flat and was raped repeatedly.

Potts added that six photos were recovered from Guy's mobile phone showing the naked girl and various sexual acts, including the bottle incident, which all three deny happened.

He also added that when cops arrived at the flat at 1pm there was a Facebook entry on the computer in the bedroom, which stated: James: there's been a rape about seven hours ago".

The prosecution also claim that Stephens sent a text to a friend after the sexual activity and before she left, which said: "You won't believe what's happened".

"It's the Crown's case that while she was at this flat all three defendants acted together although at different times they did different acts as individuals. All three encouraged one another," the Sun quoted him as telling the jury.

"None dissented, none left and when police found them not much later all three were asleep together in the same double bed on which the Crown allege To state, recite, assert, or charge the existence of particular facts in a Pleading or an indictment; to make an allegation.
