Amer Islam Choudhrey, aged 20 from Selly Park, was found guilty of child abduction and sexual assault.

The court was told that after attacking the girls, Rashid and Hussain ‘in effect offered them up to their friends’.

Rashid grinned and laughed in the dock during the hearing and his supporters hurled abuse at the judge as he passed sentence.

Judge Melbourne Inman QC said the defendants had all abused the girls.

He told Hussain and Rashid they had played a leading role in the abuse.

“You brought the girls all the way from Telford because you knew you could abuse them and they would consent to anything with anyone and you said they were ‘slags’.

“They were extremely vulnerable and you took advantage of them and told others the girls were available,” he said.

The five men, all from the Birmingham area, denied all the charges.

On the direction of the judge, the jury cleared Hussain on one count of sexual assault, and Rafiq and Saleem of abduction.
