Three men who raped a woman who thought she had got into a registered taxi will be sentenced in April.
The woman got into a car after a night out with friends in Hull city centre on 30 July.
Bakhtullah Safi and Habibullah Ahmadzai, both 18 and of Wellsted Street, Hull were found guilty of rape at Hull Crown Court.
Kehan Safi, 26, of Wellington Lane, Hull, pleaded guilty to rape at an earlier hearing.
CCTV footage showed the woman walking along Ferensway when she entered the car and travelled off in the direction of Hull Royal Infirmary.
During the course of the journey, Ahmadzai, Bakhtullah Safi and Kehan Safi, carried out their attack before requesting a £20 taxi fare.
The woman refused to pay and fled to safety.
Sexual predators
Det Con Ashley Webster from Humberside Police said the defendants had shown "no remorse" for their actions.
“They are what I can only describe as ‘sexual predators’ who subjected a lone woman who had just been on a night out with friends, to a horrific and utterly traumatising ordeal.
"This was a truly disturbing case and I’m pleased these men are now behind bars and are being punished for this horrific attack."
The gang will be sentenced at Hull Crown Court on 2 April.
