Eight men from Rochdale have gone on trial accused of grooming and abusing two young girls, after one of the alleged victims took a parenting course as an adult and made graphic claims about being exploited from the age of 12.
She and a friend were treated as “mere objects for the defendants to use, abuse, humiliate then discard” from the ages of 12 and 13, a jury at Manchester Minshull Street crown court was told.
