Police are hunting four men over the gang rape of a 14-year old school girl.
The girl was attacked in a Geelong park and later a house.
Police have said that the girl and a 14-year-old male friend were in a park in Geelong’s east, when the men who were allegedly intoxicated gang approached them on Sunday about 4am.
Three of the men attacked her in the front yard of a nearby house in an act police described as on the most extreme end of sexual offences.
The male friend with the young girl was pushed to the ground and kicked before he ran for assistance.
The girl was allegedly taken by one of the men to a nearby house where she was sexually assaulted again.
She was located by police around 5am in the vicinity of the park.
Detective Sen-Sgt Jason Walsh said, “She is absolutely devastated and traumatised by what has happened.
“What she has told us is horrific and awful.”
He said the men were “drunk and violent”
“It is on the high extreme end of seriousness but I can’t say what the direct allegations are.
“It’s very concerning for us as investigators and as police.”
He wore jeans, was likely barefoot and spoke with an English accent.
The second man was aged in his mid 20s and 178cm with a bulky build and clean-shaven. He wore a white long sleeve plain T-shirt and black jeans.
The third man appeared younger, 173cm and had a thick black beard.
He wore a long sleeve black T-shirt, blue jeans and spoke with an Australian accent.
The fourth man, believed to have walked the girl home and not taken part in the initial sex attack, was aged in his mid 30s, 184cm with a bulky build and unshaven.
He wore a short sleeve black T-shirt and possibly spoke with an English accent.

People in or around the Geelong area (or wherever they're from) is bound to recognise this group of men from the pictures surely. I reckon the police are already hot on their heels. I hope they get the book thrown at them and hard.
Here's hoping
What a traumatizing experience for the girl. I hope she gets the counselling she'll need to deal with this.
And I'll say it.....please children, don't be hanging in the park at 4am. sadly there are dangerous, stupid people out there. I'm in no way Victim blaming.....but we all need to be sensible. 4am??
Yes we should all probably be sensible, by NOT raping girls, don't you think? You ARE victim blaming with your comment.
This would have occurred whether she was 14 or 24 for 34, so saying "please children" masks what you're actually saying.
What you're really saying is "women, don't go out late at night. Men can (because they are less likely to be raped) but women have to live a more restricted life than men, because the level of sexism in our society means they are likely to be raped".
Sad that men can roam the streets at night without people criticising them, but when females do they are criticised for being foolish and risk taking.
