Two brothers are among five men from Rochdale to have been found guilty of sexually exploiting two girls from the ages of 12 and 13.
The girls were “mere objects for the defendants to use, abuse, humiliate then discard”, Manchester Minshull Street crown court heard.
The jury had been warned not to be prejudiced against the defendants simply because of where they were from, with one defence barrister saying Rochdale had become “synonymous with grooming”.
The men had denied 80 counts dating back to 2002 and 2006, when some of them were teenagers.
