Three members of a Huddersfield gang have been convicted of grooming and sexually exploiting a vulnerable schoolgirl.
The teenager was sexually abused by Banaras Hussain, Mohammed Akram and Talish Mahmood Ahmed in the town between 1995 and 1998.

The three defendants, along with Mohammed Khalil, who was acquitted of indecent assault, accepted knowing the complainant, but denied all charges on a seven-count indictment.
Opening the trial last month, prosecutor Kate Batty told the jury that the case concerned the sexual exploitation of a young girl who, from the age of 13, was deliberately targeted by older men who wanted to use her for their own sexual purposes.

“More and more men came onto the scene and the group got bigger and bigger – such that she can’t even remember them all now. You will hear reference to men who are not part of this trial.”
Mrs Batty said the teenager was treated as an “object”, adding: “Routine to her became the day in, day out events of being touched or groped or having sex on grubby mattresses on the floors of flats and houses that she found herself in.”…
