Omar Safdar, 30, of Oldham was part of a gang of sexual predators who raped the girl, aged between 14 and 16, in the Keighley area of West Yorkshire over a period between 2008 and 2009.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said a total of eight men were found guilty of 23 counts of rape and two of conspiracy to rape in two separate trials at Bradford Crown Court last year.

The CPS said two were sentenced last year and four more were jailed on Friday.

The CPS said the six sentences so far were: Omar Safdar, 30, of Oldham – 12 years, Nazir Khan, 30, of Keighley – 12 years and an extended eight-year licence period, Kamran Hussain, 29, of Keighley – five years, Imran Sabir, 42, of Keighley – 12 years, Hasan Basharat, 32, of Keighley – 12 years and Baber Hussain, 36, of Bradford – 13 years.

Two others are yet to be sentenced

The woman – who was raped by multiple men– said she hoped the convictions and sentences would help other survivors of child sexual exploitation to come forward.

Prosecutors said the girl was driven to parks, flats, and isolated places where she was raped by the men.

In a statement issued through West Yorkshire Police on Friday, the woman said: “The driving force for me to keep going through all of this was so that it prevents it from happening to other people, and also it might help other people come forward.”
Ed Hulbert, from the CPS, said: “These eight men cynically manipulated and ruthlessly exploited a young and vulnerable girl. “They plied her with drugs and alcohol and abused her systematically and repeatedly. They raped her when she was alone and unprotected. “They are now facing lengthy prison sentences. “The victim has displayed immense courage and resilience in reporting these crimes and helping us to build a robust case to put before a jury. Our thoughts remain with her
