are on trial in West Yorkshire after the teenager was ‘used and abused like an object’.
The jury watched the videos as Sharon Beattie, prosecuting, transcribed the men’s conversation – which was in Urdu, Punjabi and English.
Miss Beattie said: ‘In her account, various videos were taken that evening, only one was recovered – taken at the end of the evening.
‘But it demonstrates how they were treating her as an object, something to use and abuse. There is no question of her giving consent to any activities that evening.’
The court heard how the schoolgirl had been drinking with a friend on the night of May 11, 2010, when they went to Ali Rehman’s home, where they shared Jack Daniels and coke with him and his friends.
Her friend went upstairs with Rehman to buy some cannabis and left the house at around 9pm, taking the 15-year-old’s mobile phone with her.

‘Gratification’: Leeds Crown Court, pictured, heard how the girl and a friend drank at Ali Rehman’s home and the girl was then led upstairs, barely able to walk
It was agreed that the young girl should be left behind to sleep off the alcohol because she was ‘wasted’, with Rehman, from Dewsbury, West Yorks, saying: ‘You can stay here because you can’t even walk.’
The abuse began, the court heard, when the teenager was led upstairs to a bedroom and she was laid down on a mattress.
The girl had told police that Rehman allowed his friend Saqib Hussain into the room and told him: ‘You have 10 minutes.’
Miss Beattie told the court: ‘If this is right it demonstrates from the off Ali Rehman was set on this girl being available for the sexual gratification of himself and his friends and the fact she couldn’t walk demonstrates she was vulnerable to all these men.’
After 10 minutes it is alleged that Rehman then entered the room and raped her, but was interrupted by his brother telling him they had to leave.
Ali Rehman was set on this girl being available for the sexual gratification of himself and his friends and the fact she couldn’t walk demonstrates she was vulnerable to all these men.
Her family had become so concerned she had been reported as a missing person.
The court heard that Rehman told the girl to put her clothes on, flung her over his shoulder and carried her from his bedroom to the nearby home of co-defendant Faiser Younas.
The jury heard that at one point she woke up to two of the men trying to rape her at the same time. She said she remembered crying throughout her ordeal.
The prosecutor said the group then left, putting the girl in a taxi, driven by Larasab Hussain, going via Asda in order to get more alcohol.
The girl said she could feel herself coming around by this point, but was then given more vodka.
The group then went to Hussain’s flat to allegedly continue the abuse further. One man was heard to say he did not want his face in any pictures.
They then went back to Rehman’s home, where the police discovered the girl in the morning.
At first the girl denied that anything had happened to her out of fear, the court heard.
But she changed her mind and gave her full account in October 2010.
Ali Rehman is charged with three counts of rape, and one of attempted rape, Saqib Hussain is charged with sexual assault, Faisar Youas with one count of rape, Hassan Rehman with attempted rape, Wahid Hassan with one count of attempted rape and Larasab Hussain with one count of sexual assault.
The men, all from Dewsbury, deny the charges. The trial continues.
A MAN was jailed for 11 years today for raping a drunken 15-year-old girl who was filmed as she was sexually assaulted by a number of men in Dewsbury.
JUL 2013
A MAN was jailed for 11 years today for raping a drunken 15-year-old girl who was filmed as she was sexually assaulted by a number of men in Dewsbury.
Ali Rehman, 26, was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court for his part in the attack on the teenager in Dewsbury in May 2010, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
The schoolgirl was “treated as little more than an object, something to use and abuse”, an earlier hearing was told.
Rehman admitted raping the victim earlier this year.
Another man, Faisar Younas, who admitted sexual activity with a child, was jailed for four years today.
A third defendant, Larasab Hussain, will be sentenced later.
Earlier this year, the trial was halted after pleas were entered by Rehman, Younas and Hussain.
The court heard then how the girl was taken to three different houses in Dewsbury where she was raped and sexually assaulted.
Video clips showing the naked teenager being indecently touched by some of the men were shown to the jury during the opening of the trial.
A prosecutor told the aborted trial the video recovered on one of the men’s mobile phones showed part of a series of sexual assaults on the complainant.
The barrister said: “She is seen to be distressed and naked while being abused both physically and verbally by Ali Rehman and others.”
She said: “She was being treated as little more than an object, something to use and abuse.”
The court heard how the girl went to Rehman’s house with a friend after meeting him with the intention of buying cannabis.
They were drunk after buying a small bottle of vodka earlier in the evening and had more to drink at the house, where the girl became so drunk she could barely walk.
After the girl’s friend left, the victim was taken to two more houses, where she was attacked, before she was returned to Rehman’s house and found by police.
She was so drunk that Rehman carried her over his shoulder between two of the locations, the court heard.
At first the girl denied anything inappropriate had happened because she was concerned about people finding out what had happened, but she later gave a different account.
- Rehman, of Tanhouse Street, Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury, admitted three counts of raping the girl and another count of attempted rape.
- Younas, 23, of Textile Street, Dewsbury, admitted sexual activity with a child.
- Hussain, 45, of Headfield Road, Savile Town, Dewsbury, admitted a charge of sexual assault. He will be sentenced on July 4.
Earlier this year, the CPS said it would offer no further evidence against three other men who were originally charged and involved in the same trial as Rehman, Younas and Hussain.
After today’s sentencing, Andrew Horton, reviewing lawyer with the CPS Yorkshire and Humberside Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Unit, said: “This was a highly disturbing case in which the men preyed on a vulnerable child victim.
“The victim showed tremendous courage in coming forward and being prepared to give evidence at trial.
“We hope that the sentences handed down are some comfort to the victim and that she is now able to begin to rebuild her life.”
Detective Inspector Andy Leonard, of West Yorkshire Police, said: “This was an extremely sensitive inquiry that began in May 2010 when the police became aware that a young girl had been raped and sexually exploited by Rehman and the others sentenced today, who also moved their victim to several properties in the Dewsbury area in an attempt to avoid detection and prevent the girl from being found.
“By carrying out the acts they performed on such a young and vulnerable girl, the defendants have disgusted the investigating officers on the case and we are very glad to see Rehman and Younis behind bars today.
