Rotherham child sexual abuse: Gang of seven guilty

Seven men have been found guilty of grooming and abusing young girls, including one who was forced to have sex with “at least 100 Asian men” by the time she was 16.

Sheffield Crown Court heard how the men targeted and exploited the teenagers before subjecting them to acts of a “degrading and violent nature”.

They abused five young girls over a seven year period in Rotherham.

The gang were convicted of offences including rape and indecent assault.

One girl described being bitten and raped by two of the men in Sherwood Forest while “high as a kite” on drugs.

Victims believed ‘sex was the price they had to pay for friendship’

FIVE vulnerable teenage girls were raped and sexually abused by the seven men convicted at Sheffield Crown Court today.

All of the girls had unsettled home lives and none had the maturity to understand they were being groomed and exploited, said a National Crime Agency spokeswoman.

They believed that sex was the price they had to pay for friendship and were plied with alcohol and drugs, she added
