TWO men were yesterday found guilty of raping a teenager.

Alexander Stewart met the 19-year-old girl on a dating website.

He and sex beast Christophe­r Drummond later met up with her in Stewart’s flat and subjected her to a horrific ordeal.

The perverts wept in court after they were found guilty of rape and assault. They had denied the charges.

The High Court in Edinburgh heard Stewart, 20, met the girl through the Badoo website.

A woman witness told the court she saw the victim after she had been raped and she was “crying hysterical­ly”.

The witness said on the night of the attack in October last year, she had gone to Stewart’s flat in Invergordo­n, Ross-shire, with her children and the victim.

She said Drummond, 23, was there when they arrived and he got the teenager to sit on his knee.

The woman told the jury Stewart and Drummond were drinking.

She added that she wanted to take her children home and she asked the teenager to go with her, but she opted to stay.

The court heard everyone left the flat, including Drummond and Stewart, to walk the woman home with the children as it was dark.

She added: “At that point, she was still giggling and having a laugh with the boy. I had a feeling she shouldn’t be left alone with the boys.”

The witness said Stewart, Drummond and the teenager went back to Stewart’s flat.

Later, she got a phone call from the girl.

The witness said: “Her voice sounded scared. I said, ‘What’s wrong?’ She said, ‘I am on the way back to you’.”

When the woman met the girl, she was “shaking and crying and pale”.

The woman asked her what had happened and then called the police.

Dummmond, described as a prisoner, was previously on the sex offenders’ register. He also has conviction­s for violence. He and Stewart will be sentenced later.
