Halifax grooming gang members lose sentence appeal
Dismissing the appeal bids, Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett, sitting with Mr Justice Goss and Mr Justice Lavender in >Sheffield, said a girl - referred to as A and who was 13 when the abuse began - was "used as a serial sexual plaything by >these appellants and many others" who plied her with drink and drugs.
"It is difficult to imagine a child being more damaged by the sexual abuse to which A was exposed," he said.
All of the men were sentenced for their part in the sexual exploitation of the girl and another teenager during four >separate trials.

and what was the legal aid bill for this? will the revenue of pimping out the kids and drugs earning be recovered? what compensation / treatment will the victims get?
in Rotherham the council and police that covered up rape gangs have spent millions preventing victims getting compensation and have refused to get the victims treatment.
the campaign #1400 to get treatment for the victims, has received appalling abuse and even accusations of being a racist front for the far right!
