The alleged victim of a gang rape has told Sky News that the hundreds of people who watched the grisly 'attack' on YouTube were perverts.

The footage showed the 25-year-old, who believes her glass of champagne was spiked at her London home, being violated for hours in front of her screaming children, aged two and four.

A three-minute clip of her ordeal was later removed from YouTube after it was posted on the video sharing website.

The victim condemned the 600 people who watched the mobile phone footage.

Sky correspondent Jayne Secker asked the mother what kind of person searches for a rape video on the internet.

She replied: "Someone perverted, someone not right, someone sick.

"It's just crazy to think that someone would get a kick out of watching that.

"The worst thing about it, you can clearly my baby crying. Why would someone not do something about it? I can't understand."

Calling the gang "animals", the mother described how she had been unable to move but was fully aware during the alleged attack.

She said: "They just hurt me the whole way through. They had no respect.

"Afterwards one p***** on me, like I was nothing.

"I felt dirty, humiliated, ashamed. I did not want to tell anyone, did not want to do anything. I just wanted to forget.

"I thought, if I lose my control, I'm not going to be a good mum for my kids. I just had to pretend it did not happen."

The mother had heard rumours of the YouTube footage before she eventually reported the matter to police.

Criticising the website, she said: "How could anyone allow anything as degrading as that to be posted on the internet?"

A YouTube spokesperson said any video that breaches rules prohibiting content like pornography or gratuitous violence is removed from the site once it is reported.

Psychotherapist Lucy Beresford told Sky: "Historically, if you look back at people gathering around the guillotine, there is that dimension where we want to be shocked, we want to have a cathartic experience of watching something dreadful happening to someone else.

"It enables us to get in touch with some dark emotions without having to go through that ourselves.

"Now, with the internet, it's that much more immediate, it's in your sitting room."

Three teenagers have been quizzed by police over the attack.

That is awful... How could that many people watch the video and not do anything?

[Black Widow]

who ever watched the video are just as bad as the people who gang raped her..

they should be tortured and slowly killed for doing that to a woman

Whoever watched the video will go to hell. I'm surprised I never heard about this until now. This is a huge story. The people who posted it on the website are morons. If they didn't think they were going to get caught, then they had another thing coming.
