12 Asian men sentenced to 140 years for the repeated rape and sexual abuse of a 13 year schoolgirl

Sex gang of twelve Asian men showed no sympathy
as they repeatedly raped a 13 year old vulnerable
schoolgirl. The teenager was physically and
psychologically abused as she was passed around
in turns by the heartless men in an underground
park.

Bradford Crown Court heard how the men were led
by ringleader Ahmed Al-Choudhury who facilitated
most of the offences but then fled abroad, eleven
were jailed for rape and a twelfth man was jailed for sexual activity with a child under 16.

Judge Roger Thomas QC condemned the "insolent
and disrespectful behaviour" the accused showed in
court which he said reflected their treatment of their
victim.

"None of these defendants had any concern
for the victim, they were totally uninterested
in her welfare and what damage they were
causing her.The victim clearly demanded pity
and understanding but their view of her was heartless and demeaning.
"They saw her as a pathetic figure who had no worth and who served no purpose than to
be an object that they could sexually misuse
and cast aside.
"They showed her no shred of decency or humanity when as a vulnerable child she so needed care and understanding."
The court heard their victim now has post-traumatic
stress disorder and clinical depression.
In a statement, she told the court:
"My perception of what a normal relationship
is warped. Trust issues affect every aspect of
my life. I have also had many physical
effects. I was physically assaulted and
punched and kicked and these hurt when I am
tired.

"My moods are very variable and can be up
and down at any time. I have no coping
mechanisms and feel out of control. my
anxiety and stress levels have been
increased. I have struggled to remain in
control of my emotions and life in general."
