LEEDS Crown Court heard how one member of the Huddersfield grooming gang raped a 12-year-old girl and "left her bleeding on the floor" of a public park.

The abuser also raped a victim at knifepoint and plied teens with sleeping pills before forcing them into sex.

The trial is part of Operation Tendersea, a major investigation into historic sexual abuse against young girls in Huddersfield, West Yorks with a total of 26 men now jailed for a combined 312 years for their horrific crimes.

One of the unnamed defendants - guilty of raping a "particularly vulnerable" 12-year-old - laughed at one of his victims and called her a "sl*g" while he threatened her at knifepoint, the court heard.

The sick rapist also forced young teens to swallow a deadly cocktail of booze and sleeping pills to "subdue" them.

'BLEEDING ON THE FLOOR'

As he was sentenced, Judge Geoffrey Marson QC said: "You took the virginity of a particularly vulnerable 12-year-old and left her bleeding on the floor in the park.

"She had to make her own way home, bleeding, to an empty flat before disposing of her clothes in a bin bag.

"You provided her with a spliff beforehand."

The disgusting "campaign of rape" constituted, as Judge Marson said: "gross sexual abuse for the defendants’ own perverted gratification."

The judge went on to tell the men: "The way these girls were treated defies understanding, this abuse was vile and wicked...None of you has expressed any remorse for what you did."

The men were last week found guilty of 12 offences against three teenage girls they "deliberately" targeted between 2005 and 2007.

VULNERABLE CHILDREN

This latest trial forms part of a wider operation which has seen scores of men - primarily hailing from Pakistan - jailed for the sexual abuse of multiple girls.

Judge Marson told the court how, when one of the victims moved to a care home in another city, the gang tracked her down.

He said: "Very quickly the abusers had managed to locate her again.

"One night the house phone rang and a man asked for the girl and said 'tell her I want to f*** her'."

The judge said there were repeated calls to the house phone threatening her carers to "let her go or else."

"They thought these men were showing them genuine affection.

"So corrupted were some of these girls by this abuse they regarded the behaviour as normal.

"When taken to isolated places such as the moors or a reservoir, if they didn't comply they were told they would be left to make their own way back.

"Children on their own, children late at night in isolated areas."
