Two pairs of brothers who were among seven men who abused girls from
Oxford in a sadistic sex grooming ring have been jailed for life.
Mohammed Karrar, 38, and brother Bassam Karrar, 34, will serve a minimum of 20 years and 15 years respectively.
Brothers Akhtar Doghar, 32, and Anjum Doghar, 31, were each jailed for life with a minimum term of 17 years, reports the BBC.
Their offences included child rape and trafficking between 2004 and 2012. A fifth man was also jailed for life.
Kamar Jamil, 27, who was found guilty of charges including rape and
arranging child prostitution, received a minimum term of 12 years.
Jurors heard at the men's trial at the Old Bailey how six girls, aged
at the time between 11 and 15, were plied with alcohol and drugs before
being forced to perform sex acts.
Some were beaten and burned.
The court heard how the men identified vulnerable girls for abuse and
then groomed each one of them until they were under the control of the
gang.
They were then each either abused by the men themselves, given to the
men's friends or offered at a price to others who were not on trial.
The girls were mostly chosen because their unsettled or troubled lives made them easier to manipulate.
The men identified vulnerable girls and then groomed them individually until they were under the control of the gang.
The abuse started in Oxford but some victims were later taken to other
parts of the country to be offered to other men who were in contact with
the gang.
