Girl Drugged and Assaulted by Trio Promising Cigarettes Outside Asda: Shocking Details

A chilling case unfolding at Canterbury Crown Court reveals a harrowing tale of exploitation involving a schoolgirl and three men—Ivan Turtak, 38; Kevin Horvath, 25; and Ernest Gunar, 27. The men are accused of luring the girl into their vehicle under the pretense of offering her a cigarette in an Asda car park. The prosecution describes the encounter as a planned act of cruelty, branding their behavior “callous, degrading, and exploitative.”

Testimony indicates that the victim, preyed upon while alone, was driven to Turtak’s flat in Dover, where she faced further abuse. Disturbingly, the court learned that the men threatened her life if she attempted to escape or seek help. The evidence reveals traces of crystal meth and THC in her system, suggesting heavy drugging during the ordeal. Turtak has admitted to taking an indecent image of the child but denies raping her, while Horvath has accepted charges of rape and assault. Gunar has also pleaded guilty to one rape charge.

Further complicating the case are contradictory accounts from the victim herself, who initially misled authorities about the circumstances. Yet, the core allegations remain consistent: she was targeted and manipulated for the defendants’ gratification. As the jury deliberates, the severity of these accusations emphasizes the urgent need for justice in cases of sexual exploitation against minors. The trial continues as the community watches closely.
