Two Men Jailed for 'Dehumanising' Joint Rape After Victim Refused Threesome

The judge condemned the assault as vile, imposing prison terms alongside lifetime sex‑offender registration.

Overview

  • Newcastle Crown Court sentenced Taylor Dove, 22, to 12 years and Vieri Chapman, 25, to 10 years, a combined 22-year term.
  • A jury found both men guilty of raping the woman at the same time after she rejected a suggested threesome.
  • Dove was also convicted of raping another teenager while she slept and was on bail for that case when the joint attack occurred.
  • Both offenders were ordered to register as sex offenders for life and were given restraining orders.
  • In a statement to the court, the victim said she felt dehumanised and described lasting harm to her mental health and relationships.
