Three men who raped a vulnerable 14-year-old girl over several days after she went missing from home, had their sentences increased after the Attorney General intervened.
Daryl German, 43, Jordan Doneley Wint, 31, and Deon Smith, 45, of Lewisham, London, had their sentences increased by three years, two years and six months, and two years respectively after the Attorney General, Ellie Reeves KC MP, referred their sentences to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.
The court heard that German found the 14-year-old girl and took her to his flat in Lewisham.
Over the next 48 hours, he arranged for her to be taken to other addresses, where she was raped repeatedly by German, Wint and Smith.
After he realised she was a missing child through reading appeals on social media from the victim’s parents, he instructed the victim to call her parents to tell them she was okay, and to take down the missing appeals.
A police investigation found the victim and led to the arrest of all three men. When German was arrested, police found 14 indecent images of the victim on his phone.
The Attorney General, Ellie Reeves KC MP said:
“This was an appalling series of rapes and sexual assaults, carried out by three men over several days on a vulnerable child who should have been kept safe and returned to her family.
“My thoughts remain with the victim, who endured this horrific ordeal.
“Such abuse against a child is abhorrent, and I welcome the Court of Appeal’s decision to increase these sentences, ensuring all three men spend longer in prison.”
On 10 April 2026, at Woolwich Crown Court:
- Daryl German was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment with an extended licence of three years for three counts of rape, one count of arranging or facilitating the travel of another person with a view to their exploitation, and two counts of making indecent images of children.
- Jordan Doneley Wint was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for one count of rape and one count of assault by penetration.
- Deon Smith was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment for one count of rape.
On 12 November 2026, at the Court of Appeal, their sentences were increased to 18 years’ imprisonment with an extended licence of three years, eight years and six months’ imprisonment, and nine years’ imprisonment respectively.
