What do they find attractive about me? An underage girl who just lies there, sobbing, looking up at them. . . as they come to me one by one.

Girl A was just 14 when she was groomed by a group of nine Asian men. After being lured into their circle with free gifts, she was plied with alcohol and systematically abused. She was just one of up to 50 girls to be "passed around" by the gang. The girls were all under 16 and forced to have sex with as many as 20 men in one night. When details emerged, a nation was outraged and asked how these sickening events came to pass. And now, the girl at the very center of the storm reveals the heartbreaking truth.
