THE third member of a girl gang who humiliated a footballer in a bizarre sex attack with vegetables has been jailed for eight months.

Shannon Jones, 20, posed for trophy photos with the ace and egged on her pals while Brogan Gillard, 26, chopped onions over his naked body.

The trio, from Barrow, posted pictures of the attack on Snapchat, with the caption ‘Terrorised!’

Video footage, shown in court, showed Gillard sexually assault the victim with scissors.

Sentencing Jones, the youngest of the gang, at Preston Crown Court, Judge Graham Knowles said: “I have to have in mind the question of what the sentence should be if rather than three women committing this offence against a man, this had been three men committing the offence against a woman who was, essentially, unconscious – and whether there should be a difference.”

Sentencing Gillard and Paige Cunningham for their roles in the attack on Friday, the judge said he would treat the case in the same way, regardless of their gender.

During that hearing, Judge Knowles jailed Gillard for 31 months and Cunningham for 10 months after seeing the shocking footage taken in Gillard’s kitchen on November 28.

The three women had met the amateur footballer, who can not be named for legal reasons, at Healey's Bar and plied him with vodka before sexually assaulting him as he lay passed out on the floor.

Gillard danced provocatively around him while the others squealed and egged her on.

Following her arrest, Jones told police she did not think the man was completely naked and could not explain why he complained to his mother that his bottom was sore.

He fell through the door of his home in the town, distressed and naked except for a pair of shredded trousers hiding his modesty.

Judge Knowles told Jones: “I have to have in mind when fixing the sentence on you, what the sentence would be if a young man of 20 years old, with good character, who did this – much to the shock of everyone – and posed beside the victim for a trophy photograph.

“Your crime was not standing by and doing nothing while others humiliated and degraded (this man), nor was it one of merely posing next to him.

“Your crime was a joint one with the other two, now in prison.

“By your guilty plea you accepted in truth you intentionally encouraged what they did.

“I have with great regret reached the conclusion you must go immediately to prison.”
