Sydney Teen Gang-Rape Case: 19-Year-Old Pleads Not Guilty, Three Charges Withdrawn

The case now moves to Parramatta District Court in February for arraignment.

Overview

  • Adam Abdul-Hamid entered not guilty pleas to two counts of aggravated sexual assault in company in Campbelltown Local Court.
  • Prosecutors withdrew three additional charges, leaving two counts to proceed to the NSW District Court.
  • An interim apprehended violence order remains after Abdul-Hamid declined to consent to a longer-term order restricting contact with the complainant.
  • Court material states he is not alleged to have performed the assaults, with a judge previously describing the alleged five-episode ordeal as brutal and noting he appeared the least involved.
  • Police allege the 17-year-old was attacked over about six hours after being approached in Liverpool, and a 16-year-old co-accused charged with multiple offences remains before the courts.
