Rooney, of Broughton, Kettering, was given a sentence of seven years and nine months in prison, while Doran, of Kirton, was sentenced to six years in prison.

Lead investigator Det Sgt Britt Bailey, said: “No sentence can ever make up for the horrific experience the survivor in this case has been through, nor the very long time the case took to get to court, but I hope its conclusion allows her to move forward onto brighter things.

“She has shown exceptional bravery and an incredible amount of strength throughout our investigation, and I would like to thank her for helping us put two dangerous men behind bars.”
