A NIGHTCLUB hostess was gang raped by youths after she was abducted at knifepoint and knocked out with chloroform, the High Court heard yesterday.

Tam Chun-ho, now 21, was the first youth to rape the woman after he won a ''cloth-scissor-stone'' game to determine who went first.

He pleaded guilty to one count each of robbery and rape over the incident, which occurred 21/2 years ago in Tuen Mun.
