THE jury in the trial of ten men accused of grooming, trafficking and sexually abusing a young girl has been sent out to consider its verdict.

Jurors retired at 12.50pm this afternoon after Judge Ian Pringle concluded his two-day review of the evidence heard during the nine week Ribbon trial.

The prosecution say the girl was plied with alcohol and drugs, and repeatedly raped by a child sex gang in the High Wycombe area for almost five years.

The girl was just 11 when the alleged abuse began in 2007.

Oxford Crown Court was told how the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was groomed and raped by Iblal Fiaz who forced her to perform sex acts on his friends and his brother Kasim Fiaz.

The girl told the court how she believed she was in a relationship with Iblal Fiaz and carried out his sexual instructions because she “didn’t want to let him down” and thought it would keep him close to her.

She described being picked up in cars and taken to locations including Fernie Fields, Cressex Industrial Estate and Handy Cross for abuse.

The girl, now 17, was exploited at house parties in Rutland Avenue and Westfield Walk, and taken to the Drake Court Hotel in London Road and a house in Marlow where she was gang raped, the court heard.

Jurors were told how Fiaz threatened to burn down the girl's family home, rape her mother and ruin her reputation if she did not go along with his demands.

But during his summing up, Judge Pringle reminded the jury of the defence’s case that the girl was a “serial liar” and a “gamer”.

Barristers on behalf of the defendants told the court that the girl had falsely accused two other men of rape in the past – including her own father.

Nine of the defendants claim to have never had any sexual contact with the girl and that she had made it all up.

Ammar Rafiq, the only defendant to give evidance, admitted to having consensual sex with the girl in his bedroom while his dad was sleeping next door after she visited his flat in Castlefield Gardens in 2011. He said he didn’t know she was still at school.

The court also heard how the girl, who required psychiatric care throughout most of her childhood, refused to give police her Facebook password or Blackberry pin number as she said she could not remember them.

Prosecutor Eleanor Laws QC even admitted during her closing statement the girl had lied at various points of the case. But added "the whole thing wasn't fabricated” as there is "little doubt she has been trafficked".

The ten defendants are:

Iblal Fiaz, 21, of St George’s Close - Four counts of rape of a child under 13, seven counts of rape, two counts of conspiracy to rape, eight counts of trafficking for sexual exploitation, two charges of sexual activity with a child and one count of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
