A teenage girl was allegedly raped by four Afghan nationals including a 16-year-old boy for "several hours", a court has heard.
Mehrab Safi, 21, Awal Ahmadzai and Salman Habibkheil, both 19 and a 16-year-old boy allegedly raped the girl in Bristol.
Three of the men had fled the country after the alleged rape, but were then apprehended in Calais after travelling to France on the back of a lorry.
The victim had been out with friends over the Christmas period last year when she was approached by Safi, who was a stranger to her, the jury heard.
He asked the victim to add him on Snapchat, before asking her to send him nude photographs of her on November 28.
Safi allegedly organised a taxi for the 17-year-old to transport her from her home in Somerset to Bristol two days later.
In the early hours of the morning, she was initially dropped off at an industrial part of the south west city, where Safi and Habibkheil were waiting for her.
The pair then took her in another taxi to a property in the St Werburghs area - north east of the city centre.
The trial, held in Bristol Crown Court, is expected to last up to three weeks

Once at the property, the victim was plied with vodka and given cigarettes before being allegedly raped by Safi, Habibkheil, Ahmadzai and a 16-year-old boy, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Prosecutor Ed Hetherington: "The prosecution say that they sexually abused a young girl who Mr Safi had met and began grooming only days before the rapes took place.
"On November 30 last year, Mr Safi and Mr Habibkheil arranged for her to be brought by taxi to meet them in Bristol in the early hours of a Sunday morning.
"Once she arrived, she was taken to a home in St Werburghs and she was very quickly expected to have sex with Mr Safi.

"She didn’t want to, not yet, but it happened anyway."
The court heard she was allegedly raped by the four men who "took it in turns to get her alone in a bedroom or in a bed and to have sex with her against her wishes".
She was "plied with alcohol and cigarettes to secure her compliance," Mr Hetherington said.
He continued: "She was alone.
"She was isolated in an unfamiliar city miles from home, in the dead of night, with a house full of men she didn’t know.
"We say she was raped and she was abused repeatedly over a period of several hours."
The alleged sexual assault ended when the mother of the girl phone the police.
Mr Hetherington said the three adults then fled the house as police arrived, travelling to both London and Birmingham.
Then, the fleeing men travelled on the back of a lorry to enter France.
Footage from Safi's phone shows the men in the lorry gesticulating and laughing which the prosecution suggested they must have thought they "got away with it".
The men were found by French police in Calais on December 3 and were sent back to the UK.
Mr Hetherington said the three men had no travel documentation and gave false names to the French authorities.
After being checked through the police system, their real names were flagged and they were arrested on suspicion of rape.
Safi has denied two charges of rape and one count of human trafficking.
Habibkheil has also pleaded not guilty to one count of human trafficking and one charge of rape.
Ahmadzai denies committing one charge of rape and one assault by penetration.
The 16-year-old has pleaded not guilty to one charge of rape.
The trial continues and is expected to last up to three weeks.
