Rotherham abuse victim 'beaten up by own family'
One victim of the Rotherham exploitation gang was beaten up by her own family after they found out she had been abused by one of the Hussain brothers.
The girl's double plight was outlined as prosecutors opened the case against Bannaras Hussain, who was later jailed for 19 years.
Sheffield Crown Court also heard about an incident in a car park next to Rotherham police station when officers appeared to turn a blind eye to her plight.
Arshid Hussain, Basharat Hussain, Qurban Ali, Karen MacGregor and Shelley Davies were found guilty earlier this week after a long trial but, as Bannaras had pleaded guilty, the case against him was opened by prosecutor Michelle Colborne QC on Friday.
Ms Colborne said Bannaras met one victim when she was 12 or 13 and she performed sex acts on him.
"He was indifferent to whether she consented or not," she said.
"When her brothers found out, they were furious with her and would physically assault her because she was involved sexually with an Asian man."
Miss Colborne told the court how Bannaras abused one victim in a car park next to Rotherham police station.
The prosecutor said: "(The girl) performed oral sex on Bannaras Hussain.
"When, shortly afterwards, a police car pulled up alongside them and asked what was going on, Bannaras Hussain shouted 'she's just sucking my c***, mate'.
"The police car drove off."
