I was labelled a prostitute, says girl abused by grooming gang
But the men did more. From 2001 to 2003 two market stall owners and one shop owner groomed, raped and abused Girl B in a basement and flats around Rochdale.
Another teenager, Girl A, was raped and sexually assaulted by one of the market stall owners and a further four men, mainly taxi drivers, on many occasions between 2004 and 2006.
A jury at Manchester Minshull Street crown court found all seven men guilty of 50 charges including rape, gross indecency, indecency with a child, indecent assault and procuring a girl under 21 to have unlawful sexual intercourse.

Police officer caught stealing woman's underwear during property search
A police officer was captured rummaging through an arrested woman's drawer, picking a pair of her underwear out and then pocketing it. The footage, captured by the woman's CCTV on 12 September last year, shows Marcin Zielinski placing the pink underwear into his back pocket before leaving the room. The footage was released by the woman on Monday (18 August) after Zielinski was sentenced to four months in prison for corrupt/improper exercise of police powers and privileges. The police officers arrested the woman and took her to Hatfield police station for an allegation, but no further action was taken. Hertfordshire Constabulary Assistant Chief Constable Genna Telfer said: "Zielinski has let down the public of Hertfordshire, the police service as a whole and his former colleagues, who act with professionalism and integrity. 'His criminal behaviour damages the reputation of policing and represents a fundamental betrayal of the public and the values for which the police service stands.'

Hundreds of supporters welcome Kneecap rapper Mo Chara as he arrives at court
Kneecap member Liam Og O hAnnaidh was greeted with hundreds of Kneecap supporters waving flags and holding banners as he arrived at court for allegedly supporting a proscribed terror organisation. Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, is accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in November last year. Demonstrations in support of the rapper were organised outside Westminster Magistrates' Court in London where he arrived on Wednesday, as well as in Dublin. The Metropolitan Police has imposed conditions limiting where the demonstration outside the court can take place, saying they are needed to 'prevent serious disruption'. O hAnnaidh was swamped by photographers as he arrived, with security officers taking more than a minute to usher him into the court building. Hundreds of supporters greeted the Kneecap rapper with cheers as he made his way from a silver people-carrier to the building. Fans held signs which read 'Free Mo Chara' while others waved Palestine and Irish flags before the rapper's arrival at court. Chants of 'free, free, Mo Chara' could also be heard over a megaphone, which was repeated by the crowd. In response to the Met imposing conditions on the protest, Kneecap described this move as a 'calculated political decision' that was 'designed to try and portray support for Kneecap as somehow troublesome', and 'asked supporters to go out of your way to be compliant with all instructions issued, irrespective of how pitiful'. O hAnnaidh received a rockstar welcome when he appeared at the same court in June, supported by fellow bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh. He was greeted by a festival-like atmosphere for his first court appearance, with dozens of fans waving flags, playing drums and one supporter setting off a smoke canister. The court previously heard the 27-year-old defendant is 'well within his rights' to voice his opinions on the Israel- Palestine conflict, but the alleged incident at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, was a 'wholly different thing'. O hAnnaidh is yet to enter a plea to the charge.
