She claimed that while living at a children's home, 'nobody cared what you did' and staff were unconcerned about her whereabouts. The trial involves eight men accused of sexual offences against two girls in Rochdale between 2001 and 2006. The accused deny all charges.
A woman who alleges she was sexually abused by a number of men in Rochdale claimed ‘nobody cared what you did’ when she was living at a children’s home. Girl B, who was allegedly abused by three men while she was a teenager, took to the witness box for the first time in the trial.
Minshull Street Crown Court has been told the accused were mainly either taxi drivers or market stall traders in the town. The girls were ‘passed around’ for sex before being ‘discarded’, it is alleged. Girl B alleges she was abused by Mohammed Zahid, Kasir Bashir and Mushtaq Ahmed, who were all said to run shops in the town at the time. She claims she was abused at a shop run by Mr Ahmed and at a house in Oldham.
“Nobody cared what you did,” she said. “They didn’t care what you were doing.” Girl B agreed that she would run away ‘sometimes every day’ and would be ‘regularly picked up by the police’ and taken back.
