Twenty men face 219 years behind bars for raping and abusing young girls after a series of trials, it can now be revealed.

The 20 men were convicted of sexually exploiting four girls between the ages of 12 and 16 in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, after several separate legal proceedings finally concluded this week.

West Yorkshire Police said that its detectives in Calderdale first opened an investigation in 2016, leading to “multiple extremely complex and sensitive investigations into a number of separate allegations” of child abuse between 2001 and 2010.

The outcomes of these investigations could not be reported until now due to court restrictions.

The first investigation regarded the sexual exploitation of two girls aged between 13 and 16, which occurred between 2006 and 2009 in Calderdale.

Nine men from Halifax were jailed following two trials at Bradford Crown Court.
