The Sun carries this story about the footballer rape scandal, it sounds authentic but you can never tell. If it IS true, I hope they all get locked up for a long time:

Girl's story of
Room 316 'attack'
Allegations ... girl claims soccer
stars attacked her in hotel room
By NICK PARKER, KATHRYN LISTER
and MIKE SULLIVAN
THE 17-year-old girl who says she was gang-raped by Premiership soccer stars has claimed they LAUGHED as they took turns to attack her.
The bright, Catholic school sixth-former has shown her family bruises which she claims prove she was held down during the alleged sex ordeal.
The Sun can reveal she admitted to relatives that she went to London’s Grosvenor House Hotel last Friday night and agreed to go to bed with a footballer.
She alleges that while they were having sex in Room 316 of the five-star hotel, seven other players walked in on them and the gang assault took place.
She told her family she recognised only one of the seven — because he plays for the club she supports — and that he humiliated her verbally as he allegedly forced himself on her.
A source close to the family said yesterday: “She is still in shock and can’t stop shaking whenever she talks about it.
“She has admitted that she consented to sex with one of the players, but says she was horrified when the rest came in.
“She claims she was forcibly raped by three or four of them on the bed. One was allegedly holding her down by the arms, calling her a s**g. It left her degraded and utterly humiliated.”
Details of the girl’s claims emerged yesterday as the allegations — first revealed by The Sun — continued to be probed by Scotland Yard’s Operation Sapphire specialist sex offences unit.
Four plain-clothed detectives guarded Room 316 as workmen changed the locks.
The officers then sealed the door with tape. Dozens of items had been removed for further forensic tests — including bed sheets, towels and drinking glasses.
It is understood the room was booked by a Premiership player who did not stay in it and has provided witnesses and evidence which prove he could not possibly have been there at the time.
He has denied all involvement. Cops, whose investigation is at an early stage, also took a mountain of refuse from the hotel.
One senior source said: “We are going through everything with a fine-toothed comb and are analysing every bit of rubbish left behind by the guests.
“The refuse will be taken to a lab where experts will look for anything which could corroborate the girl’s story. We are treating this with the utmost seriousness.”
The girl gave a full statement to cops about her alleged ordeal after reporting it at Marylebone Police Station over the weekend.
In conversations with family members, she said she went with a girlfriend to a makeover party in the West End prior to her first meeting with the stars.
She and her chum are said to have looked much older than their years when they went out on the town afterwards.
The alleged victim — a tall, slim part-time model with shoulder-length brown hair — met one of the players at the Purple Bar in London’s Sanderson Hotel.
The teenager told relatives the athletic star chatted her up before she agreed to go with him to the Grosvenor House.
Witnesses told The Sun footballers were seen chatting with two girls in the hotel’s Red Bar.
The girl claims she drank only Coke throughout the evening and was sober when she agreed to go to the star’s room.
Room ... plush accommodation at 5-star hotel
But as the pair had sex, she claims she fell victim to the gang rape.
The source said: “She alleges they were all over her like animals.
“She said she walked out of the room without saying a word when it was over, with the players’ laughter ringing in her ears.
“She got the lift down and called herself a taxi home.”
According to the source, the girl at first felt unable to tell her mother her shocking story.
But she tearfully poured out details of the alleged attack to her older sister and went to police the following day.
The family source said: “Her dad wanted to kill the players responsible and it was made worse by the fact some of them played for his favourite team.
“His daughter only turned 17 recently. He keeps saying, ‘How can they do this to my girl’?”
The girl, who has been tested routinely for HIV and date rape drugs, claims two of the eight players were from one Premiership club, with six from another.
Her pal, who is understood to have stayed with the stars at the hotel bar when the alleged victim went upstairs, could also be crucial to the investigation.
She is said to be a keen football fan who could identify all the players she met.
