A trial has begun for eight men accused of sexually abusing two young girls in Rochdale, highlighting a disturbing case of exploitation.
The girls, starting from just 13, were expected to have sex with these men whenever they wanted. It’s just heartbreaking. The prosecutor, Rossano Scamardella, said this all started back in 2001. He pointed out that the girls had tough backgrounds, which made them easy targets for these predators.
Mr. Scamardella described the situation as appalling. He said these kids were passed around, abused, and then just tossed aside. It’s sickening to think about. The men allegedly lured the girls in by giving them alcohol, drugs, and a sense of belonging, only to exploit them in the worst ways possible.
All eight men have pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include multiple counts of rape and indecency with a child. It’s a tough case, and the details are just chilling. Everyone’s watching closely to see how this unfolds.
