JURORS have heard again the claims of a young woman who says she was repeatedly raped by an Oxford gang as a child.

Judge Peter Rook has been summing up in the Old Bailey trial of nine men accused of running a child sex exploitation ring in the city.

This afternoon he reminded the jury of the evidence of the unnamed alleged victim known as Girl 2.

The complainant told the court in January that she had been abused aged 14 by defendants Kamar Jamil, and brothers Akhtar and Anjum Dogar in 2006. She also said they had arranged for her to be raped by others at different properties across the city.

And today the judge told the jury the witness had said the men gave her alcohol before "pestering" her to perform sex acts and have sex.

When she refused to do what they asked she was threatened with guns and burnt with a cigarette lighter, the jury heard again.

When asked why she had sex, she said it was because they got her drunk.

The judge said she said: "Knowing I was in a care home it was easy for them to come and find me. They had threatened me and I was scared." And speaking about an alleged rape by Kamar Jamil in a car, she had said: "I didn't want him to, I didn't have a choice."

There are eight charges against the men relating to Girl 2 and the include rape and sex trafficking.

Judge Rook later began to summarise the evidence of Girl 3 who claims the Dogar brothers arranged for her to be raped between the ages of 13 and 15 from 2005 to 2007.

The defendants deny all the charges. The trial continues.
