Girl 'passed around and raped by 100 men' rotherham child abuse tr

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said the abuse she suffered between 1998 and 2001 began when she was just 13-years-old. Her harrowing account was given in a video interview

played at the trial of eight men accused of the sexual abuse of five girls over a five-year period from 1998 to 2003. They were arrested and charged as part of Operation Stovewood - a police

investigation into sexual abuse launched after the Rotherham grooming scandal. Sheffield Crown Court heard how her phone number was passed around between the men - with others then

"demanding" to meet her. She said: "I can honestly say that by the age of 16 I had slept with 100 Asian men - some I didn't see again. "The ones who come and use you

for one time are the ones who are hard to remember. "As soon as you get to know them your number gets passed around. Asian lads demanding to meet you - then you meet a new group and it

went on like that. "I didn't know at the time I was being passed around when I was 13 but I know now I'm older." Tanweer Ali, 37, and Mohammed Imran Ali Akhtar, 37, are

both accused of indecently assaulting the girl between 1998 and 2001 when she was under the age of 16. Ali and Akhtar would have been aged between 17 and 20 during the alleged period of

offending. The victim described how she initially disliked Akhtar, of Rotherham. However she eventually fell for the delivery driver when he made her feel special by visiting her "every

day" after he finished his shift in the early hours of the morning. She fell pregnant with his son at the age of 14 and gave birth when she was 15. The victim told how her sister was

also allegedly abused by Akhtar and said the abuse they suffered made it feel as though their childhoods were "snatched away". She said: "Before, we would just enjoy going on

holiday with our granddad but we had advantage taken of us - we were children one minute and adults the next. "We were snatched away." Ali, also of Rotherham, and Akhtar are on

trial with six other men, all accused of committing historic sex offences in Rotherham against five alleged victims. The men have pleaded not guilty to a total of 28 counts of sexual abuse

of five girls over a five-year period from 1998 to 2003. Akhtar denies four counts of indecent assault, one of supplying a controlled drug, one of rape, one of procuring a girl under 21 for

unlawful sexual intercourse with another, one of aiding and abetting a rape and one of sexual assault. Tanweer Ali, 37, of Rotherham, denies two counts of indecent assault, two counts of

rape and one of false imprisonment. Salah El-Hakam, 39, of Sheffield, denies one count of rape. Nabeel Kurshid, 34, of Rotherham, denies two counts of rape and one of indecent assault. Iqlak

Yousaf, 34 of Rotherham, denies two counts of rape and two counts of indecent assault. Ajmal Rafiq, 38, of Rotherham, denies one count of false imprisonment and one count of indecent

assault. Asif Ali, 33, of Rotherham, denies three counts of indecent assault. An eighth defendant, who cannot be named, denies three counts of rape and one of abducting a child. The trial

continues.
