One of the men whogang raped a 16-year-old Calgary girl who was seeking a ride home late at night was sentenced to nine years in prison on Friday afternoon.

Abdifatah Ahmed Ibrahim, 24, was convicted in Decemberof sexually assaulting the teenager.

Court of Queen's Bench JusticeJohn McCarthy imposed the nine-year sentence after prosecutor Jason Wuttuneeproposed a 10-year prison term earlier this week.

On Monday, sentencing arguments will take place on Ibrahim's other, unrelated convictions. He pleaded guilty to a home invasion and kidnapping with a firearm as well as other charges.

In February 2015, the victim of the gang rape and her 17-year-oldfriend were trying to get home in the early morning hoursafter the buses and CTrains had stopped running.

Eventually, three young men they barely knew Diggy, Vamba and Moussa showed up. The teen's friend had promised Vamba sex for a ride home but the victim never consented to any sexual activity.

Diggy isIbrahim's nickname.

The men drove the girls to a nearby school,parked and then took turns raping the teen. Ibrahimtold his crying victim to "stop acting like a baby or there will be trouble."

A secondman goes ontrial later this year while the third suspect was never charged.
