''The ringleader of a Rochdale grooming gang that used two teenage girls as "sex slaves" has been sentenced for a range of sexual offences.

Members of the gang expected sex wherever and whenever, including in filthy flats, cars, car parks, alleyways, disused warehouses and on rancid mattresses, a court heard.

Some of the men groomed the victims when they worked at an old market stall in the town, run by Mohammed Zahid, 64, who was nicknamed 'Boss man'.

A court previously heard that Zahid felt he was "almost untouchable" and gave free underwear from his lingerie stall to both girls, along with money, alcohol and food in return for the expectation of regular sex with him and his friends.''

"It doesn't matter how much time has gone by, it is still possible to get justice. The day I watched the verdicts changed my life, I instantly had a massive weight lifted off me and I now feel like I can live my life. I do not need to feel ashamed, and I have already started that process."
