Afterwards, during the early evening, the teacher and another man visited the Duke of Cornwall Hotel with the traumatised girl and her friend.

Police are trying to trace these two men as vital witnesses. The victim has helped create e-fit images of them.

In her appeal to those two men, the victim said: “You appeared at the time to want to stop the attack on me, and you also appeared to be shocked by the action of your teammates.

“I would like you to know that I was very young and very scared and that the impact of your teammates’ rape on that Saturday afternoon has affected me every day for 42 years.

“The shame of not being able to stop the attack caused me to leave home, aged 17. Even now at 59, I suffer from PTSD.

“There are not many people who truly get the opportunity in their lives to right such a dreadful wrong.

“The fact that you actually know the identities of all of my rapists gives you this unique opportunity. Please help me by coming forward and identifying your teammates who raped me.”

Detective Superintendent Jo Hall, who is leading the investigation, said: “I believe these men are the key to identifying the individuals who carried out this horrendous attack as it is clear that the group of men are known to each other.
