Two sets of brothers have been jailed for life for their sadistic abuse and rape of young girls as part of a sex ring they operated for seven years.
Sentencing the seven men who abused the girls as part of a gang, Judge Peter Rook said: "These were sexual crimes of the upmost gravity. The depravity was extreme, each victim was groomed, coerced and intimidated."
Judge Rook jailed brothers Akhtar Dogar, 32, and Anjum Dogar, 31, for a minimum of 17 years telling them they had been found guilty of "exceptionally grave crimes".
Mohammed Karrar was given life with a minimum of 20 years for the 18 "dreadful offences" he committed, including raping a child under 13. His brother Bassam Karrar, was jailed for life with a minimum of 15 years.
Brothers Akhtar and Anjum Dogar were jailed for life Kamar Jamil, 27, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 12 years. Assad Hussain, 32, and Zeeshan Ahmed, 27, were both jailed for seven years.
The judge said the gang, all of whom were of Pakistani or north African origin, had targeted vulnerable girls, and said on occasions "the depravity was extreme".
"You targeted the young girls because they were vulnerable, underage and out-of-control," he said.
He said each of the six victims had shown "enormous courage" in giving evidence during the trial.
The guest house where the girls were taken and forced to have sex with men He said they had come "knowing that they would be accused of lying, knowing they would have to relive their ordeals, knowing that they have not been believed in the past".
The seven men, including another set of brothers, exploited girls as young as 11 and were found guilty of a catalogue of offences including rape, trafficking and organising prostitution last month after a five-month trial.
The girls were plied with alcohol and drugged with crack cocaine and heroin, then trafficked for sex across the country.
Operating from their Oxford base for seven years, the men targeted vulnerable and "out-of-control" youngsters aged between 11 and 16, many of whom were in care homes.
A room at the Nanford Guest House They groomed them into believing they were in love and then exploited them, injecting them with heroin, forcing them into prostitution and even branding one of them with an electronic cigarette lighter.
The girls were taken to the grubby Nanford Guest House, where they were forced to have sex, often with a number of men.
Most of the six girls who were abused were too scared to face their abusers in court and gave their evidence from behind a curtain.
But one, who was repeatedly raped and sold for sex between 2004, when she was just 12, and 2007, faced down her attackers and told the court: "I am here to tell my story and see the people who abused me found guilty."
Belongings in a room at the Nanford Guest House Another girl's evidence told how she was told she would be shot if she did not have sex with one of the men when she was 14 and how she rang police after being taken to a flat and realising she was with 11 men who wanted to have sex with her.
Another told how she was plied with drugs and forced to have sex with strangers while being filmed at the age of 13.
The most harrowing account came from a girl who was groomed from the age of 11 and forced to have an illegal abortion on the living room floor of a house in Reading, aged 12.
Mohammed Karrar during his interview with police A string of failings by social workers and police allowed the Oxfordshire gang to brutally exploit vulnerable schoolgirls, selling them for sex for seven years.
Some of the victims reported their treatment at the hands of the men to police, but their complaints were ignored. One was threatened with arrest if she persisted with her claims.
One of the victims, who had reported her treatment to the police on a number of ocassions told the jury at the trial: "Any self-respecting police officer would have seen something was wrong.
"If you pick up a child who is covered in cigarette burns and bruises, something is fundamentally wrong.
"Adults should be doing their jobs, it's not down to a child."
Following the trial, Joanna Simons, the Oxfordshire County Council's chief executive, apologised to the girls. She said: "We are incredibly sorry we were not able to stop it any sooner."
