A 12-year-old sex attack victim was told she would be raped again after she was "targeted" by two Afghan men, a court has heard.
Prosecutors at Warwick Crown Court allege she was strangled by Mohammad Kabir, 24, in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, on July 22, and then raped and sexually assaulted by Ahmad Mulakhil, 23.
Mulakhil, of no fixed abode, has pleaded guilty to a charge of oral rape of the victim, but has denied child abduction, two counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault and taking indecent photographs of a child.

Kabir, also of no fixed address, has denied intentional strangulation, committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence and attempting to take a child.
Jurors were told the girl, who cannot be identified in media reports, was found in the street mumbling to herself and seemed scared after the attacks.
In evidence to the court on Friday, a witness who also cannot be named said the girl told her after the alleged offences that her attacker "wanted to get her in a black BMW and he was going to take her to Birmingham and London and rape her again".
'She was petrified, frantic'
Asked by prosecutor Daniel Oscroft how the girl had seemed, the witness added: "She said 'something happened to me'."

The witness said: "I asked her if she was hurt and she said, 'he raped me'. She was saying that her back was hurting because they ragged her around.
"She was very scared. She said 'he's coming for me' – she knew he was still in the park, which was across the road."
The court heard the girl said one of the men said he was called "Loki" and that one of them had "said he wanted to meet her in the park at 9pm the following day".
A second witness, who also spoke to the girl as police were immediately called to the scene, said: "You could see she was petrified, frantic and she was crying.

"She was looking over her shoulder. She was mumbling to herself."
The court has heard Kabir was alleged to have strangled the girl, who had been playing in a park, at about 18:00.
She was then seen talking to Mulakhil at about 20:00, when she is said to have claimed to be aged 19.
The jury, of seven men and five women, were shown CCTV footage of Mulakhil speaking to the girl in a residential street.
Other clips shown to the court included footage of the pair leaving a park, near to a play area, at about 18:05.
Footage of Mulakhil and the 12-year-old walking together towards and away from the area where he is alleged to have repeatedly raped her was also viewed by jurors.

Further CCTV showed the victim visiting a shop with Mulakhil after she was attacked, with him buying two cans of an energy drink.
The trial continues.
