ONE of two girls said to have been raped in a sex plot was angry after the alleged attacks whilst the other was subdued, a jury heard.

She was described as agitated by a man who knows her.

The girl was clutching a knife with both hands and the man asked her to give it to him. The girl told him she was going to ‘do’ Stephanie with it.

The knife was handed over and later given to the police, Burnley Crown Court was told.

Stephanie Knight, 19, is alleged by the prosecution to have provided Amjad Hussain, 34, his brother Shahid Hussain, 37, and their ‘cousin’ Tanveer Butt, 39, with the two 16-year-old girls for them to have non-consensual sex with.

Knight, who referred to the men as her ‘boys’, is said to have lured the alleged victims to a dark and empty house in Accrington, and would not let the second girl go to the aid of the first teenager when she screamed as she was allegedly being attacked.

The witness, who knows both alleged victims, told the court when he saw the teenagers at about 3am, they both looked quite flustered.

He said the second girl was ‘very annoyed’ about what was said to have gone on.

The first girl – said by the prosecution to have been raped by all three men at the property – was ‘her usual quiet self’ and didn't say very much at the time.

Knight, of Preston New Road, Blackburn, Shahid Hussain, of Drake Street, Butt, of St Albans Street, both Rochdale, and Amjad Hussain, of Sharples Street, Accrington, all deny two counts of conspiracy to rape, between December 4 and 7, 2009.

Butt also pleads not guilty to three charges of rape against the first girl and aiding and abetting Shahid Hussain to rape her, Knight also denies aiding and abetting rape, Shahid Hussain also pleads not guilty to three counts of rape against the first girl and Amjad Husain also denies two allegations of raping the girl and rape and assault by penetration against the second girl.

The jury has earlier heard claims the girls were plied with drink and drugs before being driven to the house.

Both girls are alleged to have been orally raped by Amjad Hussain as he took them home in a locked car in the early hours.
