Fourteen Somali men are convicted of running inner-city prostitution ring in which British teenagers from 'normal homes' were abused and raped

The conviction of the men, who persuaded the underage schoolgirls that the grooming was part of their 'culture and tradition', can be reported for the first time after the conclusion of a trial at Bristol Crown Court. The girls, aged between just 13 and 17 and from 'normal' homes, fell into the evil clutches of the paedophiles who used the fear of rape to control them. One was only 13-years-old when she was taken to a hotel room Bristol (pictured) to be raped by a series of men. Of the four girls, three were white and one mixed race, with a fifth girl witnessing many of the sickening assaults.
