A survivor says she was “consumed for 20 years” by the impact of child sexual abuse she was subjected to by a ring of men in Bradford.
The woman spoke out on Wednesday as she saw a gang of 15 men jailed for more than 180 years collectively for 88 counts of rape over a period of four years.
The abuse occurred between 2007 and 2011 when the victim was aged between 14 and 18.
The case was split into multiple trials, with reporting restrictions imposed – meaning no details could be reported until all had been concluded.
A judge at Bradford Crown Court lifted the restrictions on Wednesday, jailing the 15 men to a combined 188 years .
