The Asian men were convicted at the Old Bailey of sex crimes between 2006 and 2012, including multiple rape of a child under 13 and child prostitution. A jury had earlier found Vikram Singh, Asif Hussain, Arshad Jani, Mohammed Imran, Akbari Khan and Taimoor Khan guilty of the abuse of the two white girls. In sentencing today, Judge John Bevan QC paid tribue to the main victim who had laid bare her life "warts and all". He added: "She sought friendship amongst Asian males in their 20s and for the price of a McDonald's, a milkshake and cinema ticket, she became 'liked' by stall holders in Aylesbury market, taxi and bus drivers. "By the age of 13 she was sexually experienced, confusing sexual gratification for friendship and love."

By the time she was 16, the girl had slept with just under 70 men and her vulnerability should have been "blindingly obvious", the judge said. He went on: "Why these defendants focused their attention on white under-age girls is unexplained but I have no doubt vulnerability played a substantial part in it. "The combination of inadequate parenting leading to rebellious children lacking supervision provided an opportunity. "If they pursued Asian underage girls, they would have paid a heavy price in their community." In a statement, she told of her feelings of "worthlessness" as she battled depression and alcohol addiction, adding: "I feel my teenage years were taken away from me."

Both victims came from troubled backgrounds and were showered with gifts such as alcohol, DVDs, food and occasionally drugs. While aged just 12 or 13, one of the vulnerable girls – known in the trial as A – was passed between 60 mainly Asian men for sex. The vast majority of the charges related to this child, while three charges related to girl B. During the trial, prosecutor Oliver Saxby QC told the jury the youngsters were "easy prey for a group of men wanting casual sexual gratification that was easy, regular and readily available". He said the girls' ideas of what was right had been "completely distorted", and that they thought what was happening was "normal" and "natural". Mr Saxby told jurors: "Notwithstanding that they were children, they spoke in terms of these men being their boyfriends.

"And they were passed from man to man – sometimes on a daily basis. "The scale of it is, you may agree, horrifying. A estimated that she had sex with about 60 men – six zero – almost all Asian." Many of the defendants were friends from the Aylesbury area. Vikram Singh, 45, of Cannock Road, Aylesbury, was jailed for 17 and a half years for four counts of rape and administering a substance with intent. Asif Hussain, 33, of Hodge Lea, Milton Keynes, was convicted of three counts of rape and jailed for 13 and a half years.
