Three Australian men accused of gang-raping a teenage backpacker in Croatia have reportedly been allowed to return home after pleading guilty to the charges. The men, one aged 21 and two aged 23, had not been allowed to leave Croatia since last   July after they were charged with raping the 17-year-old Norwegian girl in the toilet of a nightclub. But the men have been allowed to return to Australia under a plea deal whereby they admitted the charges and paid the teen's family about $30,500 in exchange for a suspended jail sentence, News Corp reported. The trio reportedly left Croatia after the deal was made public and were due to arrive in Australia yesterday. In court, it was alleged that the men had been drinking at a bar in Split, a city on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast, about 1.30am on   July 16 when one dragged the teen into the toilet. The other two men allegedly joined in the attack before the teen escaped and told police. Two of the men reportedly claimed that the sexual contact was voluntary, while the third denied having had any contact with the teen. The men were facing a jail sentence of 15 years before the deal was reached.
