Three men have been jailed for eight years after gang-raping a British tourist twice in the space of four hours.
The victim, who was in a state of "semi-consciousness" was lured from a pub in Benidorm, Spain, to a secluded spot where they sexually attacked her.
Three judges concluded that the woman was first raped in a park near a football ground in the Costa Blanca holiday resort and then again on waste ground near El Cisne flea market.
It was ruled that the three men - a Spaniard and two Moroccans aged between 24 and 34 - took advantage of the fact she was under the influence of alcohol.

The woman managed to escape from the second location when she told her mum after arriving back at her hotel.
Prosecutors said they were seeking prison sentences of over 12 years on conviction for each of the three men during the trial last November.
A court official said ahead of their trial: "State prosecutors are seeking prison sentences of 12 years and three months for three men accused of sexually abusing a woman several times.'
He added: "According to prosecutors they started a conversation with the young woman in a pub in Benidorm and, taking advantage of the drunken state she was in, took her to a nearby park where they raped her before driving her to waste ground where they repeated their crimes.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
"The victim fled the scene as soon as she could but before she did, the men allegedly stole a watch and ring from her valued at €497."
The three men admitted to having sex with the tourist, but claimed it was consensual.
The victim gave evidence from the UK via video link and told the court she did not have a good recollection of what happened but remembered being on the back seat of a car with her clothes unbuttoned and her legs outside of the vehicle.
She recalled feeling pain in her sexual organs and seeing "three or four men" around her.
