Three men, Kayon Bola, Paul Maxwell and Jeremiah Jackon have been jailed for a total of 34 and a half years for r@ping a 13-year-old girl they met at the tube station.
Bola, 29, Maxwell and Jackson, both 24, filmed themselves while gang-raping the girl.
The trio encountered the girl outside a tube station in Hammersmith on September 30 of last year, the Metropolitan Police said.
They lured the girl back to Maxwell’s flat where all three of them took turns r@ping her.
CCTV showed the group travelling from the station towards the flat, while in-depth phone analysis also revealed a short video clip of the three men carrying out their attack, the force said.
Following a three-week trial at Southwark Crown Court, all three men were found guilty of rape, with Maxwell convicted of an additional count, on July 22 of this year.

On Friday, Maxwell, from Shepherd’s Bush, was jailed for 12 and a half years.
Bola, no fixed address, and Jackson, from Acton, were both jailed for 11 years.
Detective Constable Will Murphy, who led the investigation, said: ‘Firstly, I would like to thank the victim for her ongoing support in this case and for her extreme bravery in coming forward and reporting this to police.
‘This has been a challenging investigation. However, due to the dedicated efforts of my team, we were able to secure convictions. I hope the victim feels that justice has been served.
‘Today’s sentencing highlights how despicable this crime was and Maxwell, Bhola and Jackson will now face the consequences of their horrendous actions. The Met is here to support victims of sexual assault, and to provide the best care we can. Please do not hesitate to come to us.’
The victim read out a victim impact statement, saying: ‘I have gone over the date a million times thinking of what I could have done differently to change the outcome of what happened to me.
‘No matter what I change, it would’ve ended the same way. This is because these three men, fully grown men, knew exactly what they were going to do as soon as they saw me at Hammersmith.
‘I was caught alone, and vulnerable. But that shouldn’t have mattered.’
