US EditionRochdale gang guilty of raping and assaulting girls for five years
- On June 13, seven men were found guilty in a Manchester court of sexually abusing two vulnerable girls in Rochdale during the period from 2001 to 2006.
- The convictions came after a five-month trial linked to Greater Manchester Police’s Operation Lytton, which examined historical child sexual exploitation cases in Rochdale.
- The defendants, mainly market stallholders and taxi drivers, groomed the girls from age 13 using drugs, alcohol, gifts, and manipulation, abusing them in squalid flats, cars, and warehouses.
- Prosecutor Rossano Scamardella stated that the victims were exploited by multiple offenders, subjected to mistreatment and humiliation before being discarded, with one victim revealing she was targeted by more than 200 individuals.
- The convictions offer justice to the victims but highlight ongoing challenges as five more trials including 20 men are scheduled, and suspects had planned to flee the UK before sentencing.
