They lured the girl back to Maxwell’s apartment where all three raped her.
CCTV footage showed the group traveling from the station towards the flat.
Forensic analysis of the phone also revealed a harrowing video of the three men carrying out the attack.
All three men were found guilty of rape after a three-week trial at Southwark Crown Court.
Maxwell, from nearby Shepherd’s Bush, was also convicted of an additional count on July 22 this year.
He was jailed for 12-and-a-half years, while Jackson and Bhola, of Acton, of no fixed address, were jailed for 11 years.
The victim bravely read out a powerful statement about her terrifying ordeal.
She said: “I went over the date a million times thinking about what I could have done differently to change the outcome of what happened to me.
“Whatever he changed, it would end up the same.
“That’s because these three men, fully grown men, knew exactly what they were going to do the moment they saw me in Hammersmith.
“I’m caught alone and vulnerable. But that shouldn’t have mattered.”
Detective Constable Will Murphy said: “Firstly, I would like to thank the victim for her continued support in this case.
“She showed exceptional courage when she came forward and reported this to the police.
“This was a demanding investigation. However, thanks to the dedicated efforts of my team, we were able to secure convictions.
“I hope the victim feels that justice has been served. Today’s verdict highlights how despicable this crime was.
“Maxwell, Bhola and Jackson will now face the consequences of their horrific actions.
“The Met is here to support victims of sexual assault and provide the best care we can. Please do not hesitate to come to us.”
