A woman who lost her childhood after being groomed by an Asian sex gang from the age of 11 has revealed how she was forced to have sex with five men at a time.

The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons and is now in her thirties, was attacked by the notorious Hussain brothers who abused girls across Rotherham and also ferried her across the country to be raped by other men.

Aged 14, after three years of abuse, she escaped and was helped by charity worker Karen MacGregor, who also turned out to be a pimp.

She made her 'pay her way' by prostituting her back to the violent family of paedophiles and other abusers.

Last February MacGregor, 59, was jailed for 13 years for child sex offences.

Brothers Arshid, 40, Basharat, 39, and Bannaras Hussain, 36, were last year found guilty of carrying out a catalogue of sickening sexual offences in the first case following revelations of mass grooming in the south Yorkshire town. They received sentences of 35 years, 25 years and 19 years respectively.

She was the key witness in their trials.

Describing how she fell into MacGregor's clutches she told The Sun: 'What I’d thought was a safe haven was actually a Hansel and Gretel house.

'I was trapped. On the worst nights, I was forced to endure sex with five different men, each pawing at me one after the other. They beat me until I lay sobbing in a pool of my own blood'.

MacGregor physically stopped her escaping her captivity and when social services eventually intervened she was moved away to Sheffield, but 'Auntie Kaz' tracked her down again. Serial abuser Arshid Hussain, 40, known as 'Mad Ash', then got into her room and tried to attack her but staff spotted his suspicious behaviour and he fled.

The woman who spoke out today was the key witness in their trial because she was the only person who fell victim to all of them. She said she wasn't going to miss her chance 'to get justice' for herself and the other victims.

The Hussain brothers were given access to their victims by Karen MacGregor, 59, and Shelley Davies, 40.

MacGregor, described in court as a 'mother figure', took in girls - all of whom were white - from children's homes, purporting to give them a safe haven and support.

But she allowed them to be abused and kept captive, telling them they needed to 'earn their keep' by having sex with a succession of visiting men.

She even set up a support group - KinKids - for family members looking after children whose parents could no longer cope - recruiting the support of her local Labour MP who took her to Westminster to discuss the issue.

Yet with the women's help, the Hussain brothers - known as Mad Ash, Bash and Bono - were able to rape multiple girls, many of whom were also indecently assaulted.

The group targeted 15 vulnerable girls, one aged only 11, and forced them to perform horrific sex acts over a sixteen year period. All five now face jail.

The convictions were the first following investigations into allegations of sex abuse in Rotherham. Arshid and Basharat Hussain were found guilty of dozens of attacks between them.

Bannaras Hussain admitted ten charges - including rape, indecent assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm - at the beginning of the trial.

The brothers' uncle, Qurban Ali, 53, appeared alongside them in court. He too was found guilty of conspiracy to rape.

MacGregor and Davies were found guilty of conspiracy to procure prostitutes and false imprisonment.

During the trial the court heard women describe how they were were targeted in their young teens and subjected to brutal treatment as they were passed around men who raped and beat them.

Some described how they were trafficked, locked up, physically assaulted and threatened with death.
