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."
