Two teenage girls were treated as "sex slaves" by a gang of Asian men from Rochdale who "abused, degraded and then discarded" them over a five-year period, a court has heard.
Eight men have gone on trial accused of 56 sexual offences, including grooming, sexually exploiting and raping the two 13-year old's between 2001 and 2006.
Jurors at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court were told the girls were "passed around for sex" by the gang, led by market trader Mohammed Zahid, known to the girls as "Bossman" Mohammed Zahid, Kashir Bashir, Mushtaq Ahmed, Roheez Khan, Mohammed Shahzad, Nisar Hussain, Naheem Akram and Arfhan Khan deny all the allegations against them.
Mr Scamardella said "unprotected sex was routine", and the girls were "lied to about it being forbidden for Muslim men to use protection".
Girl A "lived with her mother but had no real home life to speak of", Mr Scamardella said, while he said Girl B "had been in care since she was just seven years old".
Rochdale and the surrounding parts of Greater Manchester "have been blighted by this type of child sexual exploitation", he added.
