Sex Ring Trial: Victim Could Not Say 'No'

By Mark White, Home Affairs Correspondent

A victim of a child sex abuse ring has told the Old Bailey she was forced to have sex with groups of Asian men when she was just 14.

The witness, who is now 21 but cannot be named for legal reasons, told the court she was often threatened and felt pressured into having regular sex with the men.

Nine men are on trial accused of abusing the youngster and five others in the Oxford area.

The jury was told the young woman had been in and out of care homes from her early teens and had met four of the men in Oxford after she and a friend absconded from one particular home.

She said she met the men on regular occasions, that they were kind at first and would give her alcohol, but they later became more threatening.

Sometimes the men would invite others along and she would be forced to have sex with them at various locations around Oxford, she added.

The men are accused of 51 separate counts, including allegations of rape, grooming, sex trafficking and sexual assault of a minor. All deny the charges against them.

On trial are Kamar Jamil, Akhtar Dogar, Anjum Dogar, Assad Hussain, Mohammed Karrar, Bassam Karrar, Mohammed Hussain, Zeeshan Ahmed and Bilal Ahmed. All are aged between 24 and 38.

The witness told the court that although they were not aggressive at first, the men used increasingly threatening behaviour as time went on.

She said one of the men "once told me that he had a gun".

Noel Lucas QC for the prosecution asked her: "Did you believe him?"

She replied: "I did, I was scared."

On another occasion she said she was forced to have sex with one of the men in the back of his people carrier.

Mr Lucas asked her why she didn't stop him.

The witness replied: "Because I felt I didn't have a choice, I couldn't say 'no' to him."

The trial started on Tuesday last week and is expected to last another seven weeks. The men are all in custody.
