Six men who admitted paying a "very damaged and vulnerable" 16-year-old Sikh girl for sex have been jailed for a total of 14 years.

Of the six men who've been sentenced this afternoon, 39-year-old Aabidali Mubarak Ali, of Guthlaxton Street in Leicester, received the longest term, jailed for five years.

He had pleaded guilty to two counts of paying for sexual services of a child and one count of facilitating child prostitution.

The remaining five men have received sentences between 8 months and three years.

All the offences took place between last November and January this year.

The Leicester Sikh Alliance has described the case as 'horrifying'.
