Three men deny 'joint enterprise' sexual assault on schoolgirl in Newcastle park
A schoolgirl was sexually assaulted by three men in a Newcastle park moments after her friend was also molested by one of the attackers, a court heard.
One of the defendants, all of whom have Arabic interpreters in court, had typed into Google Translate I am interested in you'' and shown it to one of the 14-year-olds before the attack in Leazes Park, a jury heard.
Two of the defendants took selfies with the girls before the alleged sex attacks occurred on May 10, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
Mohammed Alfrouh, 20, of no fixed address, is accused of kissing one of the 14-year-olds against her will, the day before, in the same park.
He is also charged with kissing her by a tree and trying to put his hands down her trousers while undressing himself the following day.
Alfrouh is charged with then sexually assaulting her friend behind a pavilion in the park.
This second schoolgirl was being kissed and groped by Omar Badreddin, 18, of Ryal Walk, Kenton Bar, at the time the prosecution alleged.
And this second girl said Mohammed Allakkoud, 18, of Tamworth Road, Newcastle, held her mouth and nose while the two others carried out the attack.
Alfrouh denies three counts of sexual assault, and Badreddin and Allakkoud deny the single charge of sexual assault that they face.
Lee Fish, prosecuting, said: They were all in it together.
It's what lawyers refer to as a joint enterprise.''
The trial continues.
