A vile rape gang subjected a homeless woman to an 11-hour ordeal after luring her into a house with promise of a warm drink and some food.
Adrian Voicu, Sandokan Pachiu and Constantin Dumitru were jailed for a total of 36 years at Bolton Crown Court this morning (February 1).
A trial heard that Voicu, 31, initially approached the 44-year-old victim outside a homeless shelter in Leigh in June last year.

He promised the woman a warm drink and food if she came into a nearby property but once she was inside, Voicu ordered her to go upstairs.
Pachiu, 30, Dumitru, 24, and Voicu then took turns orally raping the woman.
The ordeal lasted for approximately 11 hours, the court heard.
Eventually the woman was able to leave and reported it to police.
All three men were found guilty of two counts of rape and false imprisonment.
