Kurdish gang ‘raped girls and plied them with drugs’ in Newcastle

An Asian grooming gang raped and abused vulnerable white girls who they viewed as “commodities”, a court has been told.

The gang, based in Newcastle upon Tyne, controlled the girls with drugs and alcohol, contacted them on Facebook to discuss sex parties and on one occasion demanded sex in return for paying for a tattoo. The women and girls were as young as 13 when the grooming began and they were allegedly pressed into prostitution in return for drugs including ecstasy and cocaine. One girl said that one of the gang had had sex with her when she was unconscious because of alcohol.

Jurors were warned by the judge not to be influenced by recent reporting of other cases with similar facts.

Anne Richardson, for the prosecution, told Newcastle crown court that sex with the gang was almost a daily occurrence for some of the girls. She said the alleged victims were “young, naive women who were in thrall to and under the control of these, for the most part, older and more worldly wise defendants”, adding that they were passed among the men and “treated almost as commodities”. The alleged offences occurred between 2007 and 2014.
