Shocking new details have emerged about the alleged gang-rape of a 17-year-old girl – as the family of one of the suspects lashes out over his arrest.

Adam Abdul-Hamid, 19, was arrested at a home in Heckenberg, in Sydney’s south-west, at about 6am on Tuesday. 

Abdul-Hamid was one of four males, including a 14, 16 and 18-year-old, arrested for their alleged involvement in the horrific sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl on December 15, 2024. 

Dramatic police footage showed Strike Force Police, along with the Public Order and Riot Squad, breaking down the door as they executed a warrant at the home. 

Abdul-Hamid was charged with five counts of aggravated sex assault – offender in company with other person/s over the alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl in December, last year. 

The 17-year-old girl was allegedly approached at about 5.30pm at a shopping centre in Liverpool, 31km south-west of Sydney’s CBD.

The 16-year-old allegedly followed the girl to her car and she reluctantly let him inside before he began sexually assaulting her.

A short time later, the male asked to be driven to Wheat Park in Sadleir, to which the victim agreed on the understanding he would get out of the car when they arrived.

At the park, two other males entered the car, and they also allegedly sexually assaulted the girl.

A fourth male then arrived in another vehicle, and the sexual assault continued as the girl was driven around.

The six-hour ordeal ended at about 11.30pm when the males departed and left the victim in her car.  

The teenager immediately contacted a friend who took her to Liverpool Police Station to report the attack. 

The matter was referred to State Crime Command’s Sex Crimes Squad who established Strike Force Dungannon to investigate.

State Crime Command’s Sex Crime Squad commander Detective Superintendent Jayne Doherty said in a press conference on Wednesday morning it will be alleged it was the 16-year-old boy who approached the woman.

 Doherty said the boy, who has been charged with 24 offences, ‘struck up a friendly conversation’ with the 17yo girl before following her to her car in a shopping centre parking lot.

‘She reluctantly allowed the male into her car, where the conversation continued,’ she said.

Police will allege that during the sexual assault, the 16yo boy had a video call with the co-accused and filmed parts of it, sending it through to the other offenders.

‘The female was trying to get him out to leave her car after the sexual assault,’ she said. 

Doherty said the accused drove her car ‘erratically’ while they continued to degrade and assault the victim.

‘The four of them acted together, creating fear on the victim, degradating her, whilst the others offended against her, and at times, there was more than one person offending against this poor young girl.

‘They haven’t stopped at any point during that six hours and said this is wrong to any of their co-offenders. And that’s the difficult part to come with, that four people could act together and keep going at that type of offending over such a long time.’ 

When asked how the young woman was Doherty said: ‘Obviously she’s very distraught. This will impact the rest of her life.’   

Footage of the arrest showed his family outside the home as detectives escorted a handcuffed Abdul-Hamid to a police vehicle. 

One male family member is heard screaming ‘why… why are you arresting him’ as Abdul-Hamid is led out of the home. 

As he was ushered into the back of the police vehicle, Abdul-Hamid spoke to his relatives in Arabic, urging them 'don't say a word to anyone'

Other family members attempt to restrain the man as he continues to hurl insults at the officers. 

‘F**k your mothers,’ the man said in Arabic before yelling ‘all of you’ in English.

A woman is also seen using her phone to film police as they arrest the 19-year-old.

‘I’ll go this way, don’t touch me. Don’t touch me. Don’t touch me or sexual assault me,’ the woman said. 

As police load Abdul-Hamid into the back of the vehicle, the 19-year-old calmly tells his family in Arabic to ‘don’t say a word to anyone, yeah’. 

The woman echoed the 19-year-old’s words and responded in Arabic ‘don’t say a word to anyone’ before yelling in English: ‘Don’t trust these dogs, you can’t trust these f***ing dogs’. 

The two younger males faced a children’s court that same month, while months of investigation led to the two older alleged culprits being arrested on Tuesday.

Officers arrested a 16-year-old boy at a home in Condell  Park in southwest Sydney’s CBD, on December 20, 2024. 

He was taken to Bankstown Police Station where he was charged with 24 offences including nine counts of sexual intercourse without consent and eight counts of aggravated sex assault – offender in company with other person/s. 

Detectives arrested a 14-year-old boy at a home in Miller, also in Sydney’s southwest, on the same day. 

He was charged with 10 offences including seven counts of aggravated sex assault – offender in company with other person/s. 

Both the 16-year-old and 14-year-old boys were refused bail and faced a children’s court on December 21, 2024.  

Following an extensive investigation, detectives identified the two other males allegedly involved in the sexual assault. 

At about 6am on Tuesday, detectives, along with the Public Order and Riot Squad, simultaneously executed two warrants at homes in Sadleir and Heckenberg – both in Sydney’s south-west. 

Police arrested an 18-year-old man at the Sadleir property before taking him to Liverpool Police Station. 

He was charged with nine counts of aggravated sex assault – offender in company with other person/s.   

He was denied bail and is set to face a children’s court on Wednesday. 

Abdul-Hamid was listed to appear for the first time at Liverpool Local Court on Wednesday morning following his arrest on Tuesday.

Abdul-Hamid’s solicitor Muhammad Tehsledar told the court he did not require his client to appear via audio-visual link when the matter was heard. 

Mr Tehseldar made no application for bail but said he would be making a release order application for Abdul-Hamid in coming days. 

Outside court, Mr Tehseldar said Abdul-Hamid maintained his innocence and it would be inappropriate to make any further comment. 

The case was adjourned to Campbelltown Local Court on August 13.
