A teenager accused of participating in a six-hour gang rape has shielded his face with a mask all the way through his first in-person court appearance.

Adam Abdul-Hamid was in Campbelltown Local Court, in Sydney's southwest, on Wednesday for his first appearance since being granted bail in September.

The 19-year-old, along with three other teens who cannot be named for legal reasons, is accused of participating in the six-hour-long sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl at multiple Sydney locations in December 2024.

Abdul-Hamid walked into the courthouse with his lawyer, Muhammad Tehseldar, with a black face mask and dark sunglasses covering much of his face.

He continued to wear the mask when asked to stand in court.

Prosecutors do not allege Abdul-Hamid physically assaulted the woman
