Girl B said when the abuse began she was living in a children’s home and started to hang around Rochdale market, where Mohammed Zahid, then in his 40s, owned a stall.
A teenage grooming gang victim allegedly used as a “sex slave” by Asian men in Rochdale was labelled a “prostitute” from the age of 10 by social services, a court heard.
The victim, now in her 30s, who had been in care as a youngster, had read her file held by Rochdale social services, she told Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester.
On other occasions she said Ahmed would drive her and Zahid to a house in Chadderton near Rochdale.
