The victim, who was 18 when the attack took place in February last year, was lured to Harrow Leisure Centre in north west London under the guise of going to a roller disco... She was then punched, kicked and stabbed after being set upon by the group, suffering wounds to her thighs, buttocks and abdomen.
In a victim impact statement, the victim said she now finds it difficult to trust people, struggles to leave the house and her attendance at college has dropped significantly 'as I am constantly in fear of being assaulted again'.
She said: 'I found it extremely difficult to sleep the first few weeks after the incident occurred and was constantly having nightmares... I replay the assault in my head and visualise the knife being used on me.'
She said the incident has left thick scars on her body which 'saddens me every time I see them and I feel like I am the one living a life sentence due to them.'
