Sex gang of twelve Asian rapists showed no sympathy or remorse 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 these 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.

After the sentencing, Kris Hopkins, Conservative MP for Keighley spoke
out against the 'sick model of organised groups of Asian men grooming young
white girls', but said there are more women out there who need justice. He
said the sentenced were vindication for controversial comments he made during a
parliamentary debate in 2012, claiming that organised groups of Asian men were
'going around raping white girls'.
"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:
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."
