Oxford child abuse gang 'preyed on vulnerable girls'

The judge said they preyed on young girls, who no one would believe - and, in the end, they stole their souls. Today, seven men - guilty of child exploitation - have been sentenced to a total of 95 years.

The gang preyed on the most vulnerable girls - many in care homes. One as young as 11. They were groomed, raped - and sold as prostitutes.

A Serious Case Review is now underway as Andrew Pate now reports.
