Two thugs jailed for raping teenager and threatening to kill her if she screamed in terrifying attack
TWO thugs have been caged for raping a 17-year-old girl in a terrifying attack that saw one of the men threaten to kill her if she didn't stop screaming.
Beniamin-Ovidiu Ban, 30, and Cosmin Vintan, 27, were both convicted of two counts of rape with Ban jailed for 14 years and Vintan for 16 years.
Northamptonshire Police have since revealed that Vintan had been convicted of a similar attack in Romania and was released in 2013.
The two attacked the teenager at about 4am on a Sunday morning in 2016.
They approached her as she walked to meet her boyfriend after a night out with friends, dragged her into an alleyway and attacked her.

Detective Constable Kirsty Bathe said: “Two dangerous and violent men who deliberately targeted a vulnerable female have been given sentences that reflect the seriousness of their crime.
"The victim has shown immense courage and strength standing up to her offenders not only to ensure they are put behind bars but also to prevent them from attacking other vulnerable women.
“I hope the sentences provide some closure for the victim but also demonstrates to the public of Northamptonshire that we remain resolute in our determination get make Northampton a safe place to be.”
