A GANG tied up and tormenting a young disabled woman in a humiliating nine-hour ordeal which they filmed on a mobile phone.

David Bradshaw, prosecuting, told York Crown Court the four made the 19-year-old victim lick a pair of trainers and drink washing-up liquid.

They gagged her with toilet tissue and tape, tied her to a chair, used a mask and a battery with wires to terrify her and hit her. They even poured water over her so that her hearing aids would not work.

Her ordeal only ended when they took her out blindfolded, spun her round seven times and released her in a park at 5.30am, saying: "We will leave her to be savaged by a dog."

The next day two of the gang bragged about their deeds and showed off the photographs which at least one of them had taken on a mobile phone camera.

Terry Spencer, 20, of Nelson Street, York, who was serving a community order at the time, was jailed for three years.

Raymond Wilson, 28, who lived in the East Mount Road flat where the ordeal occurred and was on parole from a six-year sentence for ramming police cars with a forklift truck, was jailed for two years and ten months.

Victoria Brill, 21, of Manor Farm Close, Copmanthorpe, was jailed for two years and six months and a 17-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was given a two-year detention and training order on top of the five months she spent in custody on remand.

All four admitted false imprisonment and causing actual bodily harm.

Barristers for all four defendants said they were remorseful. All but David Dixon, representing Wilson, said their clients had difficult backgrounds. Paul Williams, for Spencer, said they had been drinking and may have been smoking cannabis.
