Judge de Bertodano told the five defendants they must all have “younger sisters or cousins who you would be horrified for if anyone treated them in the way you treated these girls”.

She added: “You, Waqaar Khan, used the fact that through social media it is easy to get in touch with girls and to exploit their desire to be grown up and rebellious in order to persuade them to get in to cars with you, and to then sexually exploit them when they have no realistic chance to escape.”

One of the two teenage victims described how “her ability to to trust individuals has been severely affected” in a victim impact statement.
