A VULNERABLE schoolgirl was forced to her knees and held by the hair when she was raped in a disused underground car park, a jury heard.
She was giving evidence in the trial of 13 men and a youth who deny a total of 28 sexual offences alleged to have taken place in Keighley between May, 2011, and June, 2012.
All but one of the allegations involves the teenager, aged between 13 and 14 at the time, Bradford Crown Court has heard.
A series of interviews she had with police officers was yesterday played in the packed courtroom.
The girl said she was a 13-year-old virgin when a teenage drug dealer called Arif Choudhury raped her in the grounds of a church in Keighley.
Soon afterwards, she claimed, he introduced her to other men and forced her to have sex with them.
Choudhury, who is not on trial and has left the country, was dealing in heroin, cocaine, steroids, ecstasy, cannabis, MCAT and amphetamine, the girl told the police.
In May, 2011, he slapped her round the face, pulled her hair, pushed her to the ground and raped her when she refused to deliver drugs for him any more, she alleged.
She told how he used physical violence on other occasions, bruising her face and breaking her rib.
She said she never took drugs and got nothing out of delivering them for Choudhury, who was 14 when she first met him, aged 12.
The girl said he called her "a little white slag," before raping her.
"I am thinking I have done him a favour and he used me and abused me," she told the police.
"I pulled my pants up and I sat there crying."
The girl said that before Choudhury raped her she was a virgin.
"I felt like crap afterwards," she added.
She agreed she told the police she was raped by two white males and that she also lied to officers, claiming she had an abortion after the rape.
"I was just so p****d off about what actually happened that I wanted to make it bigger than it actually was. I wanted to get him for something else; make it more of an issue," she said.
She alleges that after Choudhury raped her, he very soon introduced her to other males in Keighley who raped and orally raped her.
She said she began staying out late and meeting people after the relationship with her mother broke down.
"I got myself into a horrible position," she said.
The jury has been told that the girl was reported missing from home 71 times before she was taken into care in June, 2012.
She alleges she was raped in a disused underground car park at the former Keighley Police Station, behind the town library, in the grounds of Cliffe Castle and Burgess Park, and in Stockbridge Tunnel.
She said her abusers wrote her name on the wall in Bay 5 of the car park, where she was raped on an old green sofa. She claimed she was forced to her knees on the concrete and held by the hair by Choudhury as she was orally raped by another man.
A second girl was involved in a single rape allegation, dating from 2009 when she was 15, it is alleged.
On trial are: Yasser Kabir, 25, of Belgrave Road, Keighley, who denies four allegations of rape.
