Steven Halamboulis charged with two counts of rape and one of false imprisonment of the 19-year-old girl, who says she was raped by the Black Uhlans

Steven Halamboulis, 43, of Reservoir, has been charged with two counts of rape and one of false imprisonment of the 19-year-old girl, who says she was raped at the motel by members of the Black Uhlans.Halamboulis was charged after he and four other gang members provided DNA samples. The alleged rape occurred after the woman met the gang members at a Lakes Entrance pub. She told police she had her drink spiked and was then lured to the motel where, feeling intimidated, she got into the the motel's pool with some of the men.She says she was then attacked by six men, some of whom held her down while she was being raped. She was then taken to a room and repeatedly raped again by several men.Eventually, the woman was able to use her mobile phone to call a friend, who came to the motel with several other people and demanded that the woman be released.Local police arrived around the same time and negotiated for the woman to be released. She has told police that as she left the motel bikies formed a line and whispered threats to her.When Sexual Crimes Squad members arrived the next day, three of the bikies denied that a sexual assault had taken place, while two declined to talk to police.However, after negotiations with the high-ranking gang member, police were given five names, of whom two were full club members and three were associates of the club. The men at first refused to be DNA tested, then consented.A Wodonga man, 43, a Geelong man and Hoppers Crossing man, both 34, and a Sunshine man, 36, were also interviewed by detectives.
