A 15-year-old snatched outside a Tesco, raped and forced into three marriages by an Asian grooming gang has spoken of her torment - after coming face-to-face with one of her alleged rapists again.
Sarah - not her real name - was dealt another devastating blow when she was told one of her alleged rapists would have a say in her young son's future, whom she claims was conceived through a sex attack.
During the woman's 12-year harrowing ordeal as a sex slave she was also forced to have eight abortions, was beaten, and given sedatives reports the Daily Mail.
Sarah has been made to go to court to fight for the future of her five-year-old son, a decision she finds "obscene".
"It made my skin crawl to see him there [in court], allowed to stand up and say his piece," she said, claiming he even smirked at her.
The boy's father could be given a role in his future, despite allegedly tormenting Sarah and having a history of abuse and violence.
Sarah, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, had her son taken away by social services.
She also gave birth to a daughter earlier this year, fathered by another man she claims also beat and raped her.
Social services took the baby girl from Sarah 24 hours after being born as they deemed her an unfit mother, despite her pleas otherwise.
Again, the father was sought to give his say in the child's upbringing. He wanted no role in the baby's life and she was put up for adoption.
Sarah may never see her child again, and certainly not until she is 18.
She said: "When they are taking away my children, it feels exactly the same as what that group did: the same threat, the same anxiety, everything. I am desperate to see my daughter."
Sarah's case was described by a member of the House of Lords last month as the most serious example of sex grooming to emerge in Britain.
Crossbencher Baroness Caroline Cox said she found it "appalling" Sarah was forced to confront one of her alleged rapists in court.
Baroness Cox, who has put Sarah in touch with lawyers, said: "How can the courts and social services allow this cruel treatment?"
Sarah, who dreamed of becoming a midwife, was lured into a car when she was just 15.
She claims she was hidden in various homes and was not allowed to have a mobile or computer.
She says she was forced to wear Islamic dress, learn the Koran and speak only in Urdu and Punjabi.
The gang also threatened to harm her family if she tried to escape.
Each morning for three hours she says she had to cook, clean and iron for the gang. She was beaten if she didn't do these chores.
Sarah was eventually able to escape after a particularly brutal beating in which she was rushed to hospital.
But she says the pain caused by social services is "worse than the pain caused by the gang."
Her son, who she is allowed to see for four hours a week, lives with a member of her family under a special guardianship order.
But Sarah cannot comprehend how social services have repeatedly allowed her alleged rapists to have a say in her children's lives.
Both the local authority and the police force involved in Sarah's case declined to comment.
