Michael Sean Quinn (18) from Glasvey Drive, Twinbrook, pleaded guilty on the second day of his trial to raping the girl and falsely imprisoning her and three friends.

The victim was raped twice during the attack on August 6th 2005 in the Black's Road area.

The victim's mother was phoned, from the victim's mobile phone, and taunted after the attack. She was told: "I enjoyed raping your girl".

In total, Quinn pleaded guilty to a total of seven charges, including rape, indecent assault and false imprisonment.

But his cousin Terence McKenna (18), of Finaghy Road North, walked free from court despite being handed a 15-month jail sentence for his part in the incident.

He pleaded guilty to the lesser charges of robbery and false imprisonment. However, the judge said the amount of time he had already spent in custody was equivalent to the sentence.
