A grooming gang raped a 14-year-old girl in a "sordid world" involving cocaine and control, a jury has been told.
The accused met some of their alleged victims in Gateshead's Saltwell Park, a court has heard.
The girl who made allegations against all six men was already vulnerable and drinking alcohol in the park when she met the then 16 or 17-year-old defendant Leonard Paun.
The trial continues with barristers for the other five defendants yet to give their speeches.
Stefan Ciuraru, 22, in relation to five girls, denies four counts of sexual assault, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and sexual activity with a child.
