Female robbers forced man to twerk to gangster music in his Pokémon onesie at knifepoint during 90-minute ordeal
The thugs stole a Pokémon toy and a duck-shaped soap-on-a-rope from the victim's room
A CRUEL pair of female thugs have been caged after ordering a man they robbed at knifepoint to twerk in his Pokemon onesie to gangster music.
Ana Khan, 28, and Tanieka Higgins, 25, attacked Christopher Pugh before keeping him hostage at their home.
The deranged pair forced the terrified 26-year-old to twerk in his Pokemon onesie while another person filmed him during the sickening 90-minute ordeal.
The victim finally managed to flee out of a window and raised the alarm following the attack on March 14.
Jailing Khan and Higgins for three years each at Nottingham Crown Court, Judge Jeremy Lea, said: "He was, in effect, falsely imprisoned and this was really cruel, bullying behaviour.
"He was humiliated, he was made a figure of fun for your own amusement and then you filmed him.
"Knives were produced by both of you, not just once, but on a number of occasions. His ordeal lasted for about an hour-and-a-half.
"It only came to an end, in that he was so frightened he managed to escape through a window."
The court heard that Khan lived in the same shared three-storey house as Mr Pugh in Beckenham Road, Radford, Notts., when he was attacked on March 14 this year.
She knocked on his door at 11am and asked to borrow his phone because she had no credit on her own.
He handed the mobile to her, then followed her into her room to collect it, only to find mum-of-three Higgins, of Burhill, Cotgrave, in her room.

Prosecutor James Armstrong-Holmes said: "Both defendants told him they did not have his phone.
"They denied having it for 15 minutes. They both became aggressive and said they needed money and that he had to buy his phone back."
The women then pulled out knives and told Mr Pugh they were going to stab him.
Mr Armstrong-Holmes said: "He was frightened and feared he was going to be stabbed.
"They both grabbed his wallet from his jacket, took £40, his house keys, headphones, pouch of tobacco and lighter.
"After he was kept in the room, both women went with him to his room and stole a Pokémon toy and a duck-shaped soap-on-a-rope. He was taken back to Khan's room.
"They demanded he dance to gangster music.
"They ordered him to twerk and ordered him to dance or 'this is going into you' [the knife]."
The court heard Khan had two who had two previous convictions.
Gregor Purcell, defending the thug, said she admitted she had "behaved utterly reprehensibly.";
Daniel Church, defending Higgins, who also has previous convictions, said: "I accept this is nasty bullying behaviour and demonstrable of immaturity on the part of Higgins. To them it was a joke that went too far and got out of hand."
Detective Constable Raj Johal of Nottinghamshire Police said afterwards: "This is a good result.
"The victim was humiliated and put in fear throughout the ordeal, so I am happy that the offenders have been brought to justice."
Judge Lea imposed a five-year restraining order on the women to stay away from the victim.
He told them: "You are not young teenagers. You are mature women in your twenties and it is shocking to see you do this sort of thing."
