Eight men who sexually abused teenage girls in Rotherham have been given jail sentences of up to 19 years.
The gang was found guilty of 19 sexual offences on October 17 following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court.
Judge Sarah Wright sentenced the gang at the same court on November 4.
Most of the charges relate to offences committed against a Rotherham girl who was just 13 when the sexual exploitation began in 2003. The court heard that the victim had gone to the police in 2003, saying she had been repeatedly raped by Sageer Hussain when she was 13.
Thirty-one-year-old ringleader Sageer Hussain, of Clough Road, Rotherham, was jailed for 19 years for four counts of rape and one of indecent assault.
His older brother 40-year-old Basharat Hussain, who was already in custody for child sex offences, was given another seven years to run concurrent to his current sentence after being found guilty of indecent assault.
The Hussains' cousins 32-year-old Mohammed Whied, of Psalters Lane, Kimberworth, was sentenced for five years for aiding and abetting rape, while 31-year-old Asif Ali, of Clough Road, was awarded 12 years for rape.
Thirty-four-year-old Waleed Ali, of Canklow Road, Rotherham, was given 13 years for rape and indecent assault.
Thirty-two-year-old Masoued Malik, of Bridgewater Way, Rotherham, was awarded 15 years for rape, false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit indecent assault.
Thirty-three-year-old Naeem Rafiq, of Clarendon Road, Eastwood, was sentenced for eight years for conspiracy to commit indecent assault and false imprisonment.
One Ishtiaq Khaliq was also found guilty of indecently assaulting two other girls aged 14 to 15 between 1999 and 2001.
Thirty-three-year-old Khaliq, of Carlisle Street, Rotherham, was sentenced for 17 years for rape and three counts of indecent assault.
The judge said Sageer Hussain, who is of British-Pakistani origin, had conducted “a campaign of violent rape against a 13-year-old vulnerable girl”.
The judge said their victims had been “targeted, sexualised and subjected to degrading and violent acts”.
