Riley Smith, 19, of New Street, Louth, and Shahram Ibrehemi, 20, of The Crescent, Bridlington, were sentenced at Hull Crown Court on Friday 30 January 2026.
Smith, who denied the offence, was found guilty of joint enterprise rape following a four-day trial which concluded at Grimsby Crown Court on Friday 25 July 2025.
He has been jailed for seven years and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Ibrehemi pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to three counts of rape.
He has been sentenced to nine years and seven months in prison and will also be on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
“Predatory and exploitative”
Detective Constable Mark Tomlinson, who led the investigation, said the men preyed on the girl on Thursday 26 December 2026 after approaching her several times on Paragon Street in Hull.
He said:
“Smith was staying in a hotel room in the city centre and met up with Ibrehemi earlier in the day. Both men then approached the young girl on Paragon Street several times asking for her phone number."
"She disclosed her age, yet they repeatedly told her it did not matter."
“They returned to her location on Paragon Street later in the night and saw that she was now highly intoxicated. Exploiting her vulnerabilities, the men, supporting her ability to stand, picked her up and escorted her to the hotel room.”
Once inside the hotel on Anlaby Road, the girl was repeatedly raped by Ibrehemi while Smith kept watch outside.
“It was then in the hotel room, Ibrehemi continuously raped the young girl whilst Smith kept a look out and entered the room on multiple occasions telling Ibrehemi to shut the teenage girl up as she was going to get them both caught,” DC Tomlinson
