A child prostitution trial has heard that "other Sikh girls" were involved with men who paid a 16-year-old girl for sex.

The girl told police she had been selling sex after she found out other girls were being "spoken to" by the men, Leicester Crown Court heard.

Three men from Leicester are on trial accused of sexual offences against her.

Aabidali Mubarak Ali, 39, Rakib Iacub, 20, and Wajid Usman, 22, deny all of the 22 charges.

Three other men have already pleaded guilty to related charges.

'Not the only girl'

In a police interview played to jurors, the girl said other Sikh people in Leicester had approached her family with concerns their daughters might be "in the same situation".

They knew why I drank, because it eases my sorrow”

She told police: "I've been told I'm not the only girl. There are other Sikh girls."

She added that it worried her that other girls could be involved.

The girl told police that she needed to make money because she wanted to leave home after her parents threatened to kick her out.

Jurors have heard that the girl had already been having sex with friends for money before she met the men.

The men would pick her up from college, the court heard, and take her to various locations where she was paid up to £30 for sex.

Opening the case for the prosecution, barrister Matthew Lowe described her as "very damaged and vulnerable".

'Promised shopping trips'

She abused alcohol and smoked cannabis, he said, and had a problematic relationship with her parents.

She told police: "They [the men] knew why I drank, because it eases my sorrow."

She was told money was no problem and promised shopping trips and holidays, jurors heard.

All three defendants on trial are accused of paying for sex with the 16-year-old.

Mr Ali, of Guthlaxton Street, and Mr Iacub, of Maynard Road, are also accused of facilitating child prostitution, and trafficking the girl by taking her to various locations and introducing her to other men.

Mr Usman, of East Park Road, is also accused of inciting child pornography.

The trial continues.

disgraceful failure of authorities to protect this child!!!!!!

She was 16 !!!

At that age she could leave education....get a full time job....get married and have kids.

It takes a community to raise a child. We Sikhs are a community. It is a disgraceful failure of the uk midlands Sikh community to keep turning out girls like this. These kind of things keep happening alot, and they always seem to stem from the midlands and the north and I have no doubt it is the drinking / pub culture of their fathers and brothers that is the cause.

^^ seem to be controversial in every thread legal singh

I suggest you say that to a singh from the midlands about the general assumption you have made about our brothers and fathers and community ( alot of this stuff is underground - a lot of the families dont acknowledge or ask for help), as for this particular case i think youll find the lesta singhs did a job well done and have been dogged by the police ever since!

But please carry on with your rhethoric because we all know your probably an armchair general who has no real life experience!

Wjkk wjkf sangat ji, we come to you today with a burden to share. Groomers are openly targeting our comunity and households. Year after year, case after case, report after report, tears after tears. This has now become a dark cloud above us daily. We must stand united. Shoulder to shoulder. To serve and protect our kaum. Like our fore fathers did. To educate our siblings. Against the evil predators stalking our own. We must own and take control of this very real problem. Now is not the time to think. Do not sit on your hands. Do not blame and point fingures. do not turn a blind eye. You or some one you know could be victims next. Awaken and rise sangat ji. For to long the acts have gone unnoticed, for to long gone unseen, for to long gone unpunished. Screams and crys of help gone unheard. The powers to be have turned away there heads to the abuse endured. Good decent genuine hard working families have been destroyed, ripped apart for ever. But no longer can we allow these horrific attacks to be kept secret and hush and swept under the carpet. Shere Panjab stands arm in arm with each and every one of you. To help protect our sisters, our community, your community. Be alert. Be vigilant. Make a stand. Make your being count. Look after each other, care, show compasion. One day this pain and emotion will make sense to you all. Plz share and support. Sangat ji take care pul chuk maaf wjkk wjkf.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
