Three men receive lengthy prison terms for raping teenage girl in Slough
A 17-year-old girl was assaulted by three men in Slough, Berkshire, and all three were convicted and sentenced at Reading Crown Court.
In July 2023, a teenage girl was raped by three men—Teague Rose, Raymond Sithole and Delwyn Rose—at a residence in Slough, Berkshire. Thames Valley Police, led by Det Cons Daniel May, described the case as deeply distressing and complex, noting the victim's extraordinary courage in testifying. The defendants entered not-guilty pleas, but a Reading Crown Court jury unanimously returned guilty verdicts on all counts.
On September 21, the court sentenced Sithole to 11 years for a single rape count, Delwyn Rose to 11 years for three rape counts, and Teague Rose to 12 years and 10 months for rape and attempted rape. May emphasized that the sentences reflect the seriousness of the offences and ensure the perpetrators will spend a significant period in custody.
