Teenager allegedly told ‘that is what white girls were for’ when she was raped
From the Yorkshire Post Illustration from the Telegraph Thanks to Robert for directing me to this trial.
A woman said she was told “that is what white girls were for” when she was raped as a teenager in Rotherham, a jury has heard
The complainant was about 14 years old when she was raped by Sageer Hussain, who was about the same age as her, and two other men, prosecutors told Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday.
Andrew Bailey, prosecuting, said the girl, who is now in her late 30s, was raped by Hussain, Kessur Ajaib and Mohammed Makhmood between 1999 and 2002
Describing one of the times the teenager was allegedly raped by Hussain, Mr Bailey told the court she later said: “He said it was my own fault, I’d led him on. I shouldn’t have walked around in what I was dressed in.
“I deserved it and that is what white girls were for.”
The prosecutor told the jury of eight women and four men: “He continued to call her things like ‘white slag’” when he saw her
Mr Bailey, for the prosecution said all three men are accused of raping one of the complainants. Hussain is also charged with raping a second teenager.
Mr Bailey said the first teenager was an “immature and vulnerable young girl” when she began hanging around a Rotherham youth club
He said this club was also frequented by young Asian men, some around her age but others who were little older and would ask the girls if they wanted drink and give them cigarettes.
The prosecutor said the girl met Ajaib at the youth club and he began to sexually assault her after word got around that she had had consensual sex with a boy of her own age, even though she was 14.
Mr Bailey said Ajaib saw this as a “green light” and the defendant said that “now she needed to come to try somebody real
She told him she didn’t want to do it” and added: “He was a lot bigger than her and she felt overpowered. She realised she had no choice.”
Mr Bailey said this girl was made to have sexual intercourse on “about five or six occasions”.
He said: “She felt like a prostitute. She was in fear of being hurt if she didn’t do it.”
The prosecutor said Makhmood, who was about 18 or 19 at the time, raped the same girl in an old graveyard in Rotherham as she fought against him.
He said that he called her a “slag” and a “dirty bitch” before spitting at her and laughing
He said she “did not dare tell anyone”.
Mr Bailey told the jury how Hussain allegedly raped the second complainant in an alley in Rotherham town centre with two other people present, one female and one male.
Ajaib, 43, of Walter Street, Rotherham denies two counts of rape and one of indecent assault, all relating to the first complainant.
Makhmood, 43, of Falding Street, Rotherham, denies one count of raping the first complainant.
Hussain, 39, formerly of Rotherham, denies two counts of raping the first complainant and one of raping the second complainant
The trial continues
The girl’s mother was working at 4 different part-time jobs to support the family after her husband left. She must have thought, I’ll keep her away from pubs under-age, and that dodgy kebab house, but a nice youth club is wholesome enough (run by the council not the church I expect if ‘Asian’ boys attended on the prowl) and will let her meet friends of her own age.
