Seven depraved, "predatory and cynical" men believed to members of a child-grooming gang found guilty following a five-month trial at Oxford Crown Court.  
They each denied their part in the charges against them but were found guilty on charges which include rape, assault and false imprisonment.
It took the jury which comprises four women and seven men over 100 hours, over the course of 24 days to reach a verdict.

According to some victims of this predatory gang, their drinks were spiked and were taken to sex parties. These girls were between 13 and 15, between 1998 and 2005.
The gang own a vehicle with an ostentatious licence plate ending 'SHG' - 'shag wagon'

Judge Peter Ross, who presided over the trial, said: 

"Systematic and widespread grooming, that is what this case has revealed.

"The investigation has involved countless hours of work and [the police] are entitled to commendations for the work they have done."

The seven convicted defendants are; Khalid Hussain, Kamran Khan, Moinul Islam, Raheem Ahmed, Alladitta Yousaf, Kameer Iqbal and Assad Hussain.

Two others, Haji Khan and Saboor Abdul, were acquitted of all charges. Two other men involved in proceedings can't be named for legal reasons.

Prosecutor Oliver Saxby QC called the abuse 'routine, cynical and predatory sexual exploitation'.

"Each of the young girls we are dealing with shared one very important characteristic, they were vulnerable.

"Perfect prey for, in the main, young men prepared to exploit them for casual sexual gratification that was easy, regular and readily available." - Mr Saxby said during the opening trial in October, 2017.

One of the victims explained to jurors how Khalid Hussain, Kameer Iqbal, Assad Hussain, Alladitta Yousaf had all grossly assaulted/raped her on a number of occasions.

A number of people also recalled a black Nissan Serena in which many sexual assaults are alleged to have taken place.

One woman said:

"They would pick the girls, have sex with them, and dump them. Everything happened in that Serena."

Another woman reported to the police in 2015 that she was 'mind-f***ed' by the group during the ordeal of repeated rapes and sexual assaults.

She said: 

"[They] made you believe they actually care about you, and they actually don't.

"Like you are something important to them, that you are a friend to them. And, really, it wasn't that.

"It was just to get what they want. It took me some years to realise that."

The men will be sentenced in June at Oxford Crown Court.
