Seven men of Pakistani heritage have been found guilty of sexually exploiting two vulnerable white teenage girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, over a period spanning from 2001 to 2006. The victims, who were groomed from the age of 13, were subjected to repeated rape, sexual assault, and coercion, being forced to have sex in various locations including alleyways, filthy flats, warehouses, and car parks. The abuse campaign lasted for five years and involved at least 53 sexual offences, as detailed during the 72-day trial at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court. One of the victims reported being labeled a "prostitute" by social services when the allegations first emerged.

Despite warnings to authorities, the exploitation continued over several years. The case highlights ongoing concerns about grooming gangs in the UK and the vulnerabilities of the victims, who were given drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes and had troubled home lives. The convictions are part of a broader pattern of grooming gang cases in Rochdale, with multiple such gangs having been prosecuted in recent years.

Six key members of one of Britain's worst grooming gangs have been released early and two are no longer even on licence. They terrorised young girls in Oxford between 1998 and 2005 by raping them after plying them with drugs and alcohol.
