They lured victim to a north-west London car park where she was beaten up and stabbed.

Prosecutors said she was attacked during a 45-second pre-planned assault as revenge for performing a sex act on one of the teenagers who had not realised she was transgender.

Judge Philip Katz KC said the ambush was "vicious" and had elements of transphobia and revenge.
