Surprise! Two white women are also involved, and without them the abuse would probably not have occured and gone on for so long.
A gang allegedly spent more than ten years targeting and sexualising teenage girls in Rotherham before subjecting them to acts of a degrading and violent nature, a court has heard.
The five men are accused of raping and sexually abusing 12 young girls during the 1980s, some of whom were allegedly raped up to three times per day while under the local authority's care.
It is alleged that two women, who are also standing trial, would give the girls shelter and ply them with alcohol before offering them up to the men at a brothel-like house, where one alleged victim claims she saw 'a politician or MP'.
Many of the girls targeted came from troubled homes or lived in children's homes and several became pregnant as a result of the sexual exploitation, the court was told.
...One of the defendants said to have played a key role is Arshid Hussain, now 40 - known as Mad Ash - who allegedly used the teenagers for his own gratification, before prostituting them to men whom he owed money.
...Hussain is standing trial alongside Qurban Ali, 53, Majid Bostan, 37, Sajid Bostan, 38, Basharat Hussain, 39, Karen MacGregor, 58, and Shelley Davies, 40. They deny a total of 63 charges between them.
