Four Pakistani-origin men have been sentenced to a total of 51 years in jail by a UK court for abusing a teenage Muslim girl for over two years.
The men groomed the girl with cigarettes and alcohol before subjecting her to multiple episodes of sexual abuse while she was aged 12 to 14.
Judge Geoffrey Marson at the Leeds Crown Court hearing said none of the defendants had "uttered a single word or sentiment of remorse" during their six-week trial.
Their sole regret was "that they have been caught and brought to justice".
Zafar Iqbal, 41, was found guilty of attempted rape and two charges of sexual activity with a child, and was jailed for 15 years.
Tariq Islam, 31, was convicted of two rapes, and sentenced to 13 years.
Nasir Sultan, 24, was convicted of two rapes and jailed for 12 years.
Amir Zaman, 25, was sentenced in his absence to 11 years in prison for four offences of sexual activity with a child.
He is absconding and wanted by West Yorkshire police, 'The Times' reported.
The jury at Leeds crown court was told that the girl, who had problems at home and craved attention and love, began to meet older boys and then men, who were quick to take advantage of her age and vulnerability.
Prosecutor Michelle Colborne said the men persuaded or forced the girl to submit to sexual activity despite knowing or believing that she was still a child.
Some knew each other and swapped details of their experiences with the girl, which triggered further offences.
She began to receive phone calls and texts from men asking for sex and soon realised that she was "out of her depth".
"Sexual activity with girls under 16 is against the law because, no matter how precocious or willing they may say they are, they are children and need protection," Colborne said.
In an unrelated case, nine men aged from 29 to 45 suspected of 60 sexual offences against young teenage girls in Oxford were arrested yesterday in dawn raids by Thames Valley police.
The men, including five of Pakistani-origin and one of Bangladeshi heritage, are being questioned about crimes said to have been committed between 1999 and 2007.
