Five men who sexually abused two girls in Rochdale nearly 20 years ago were jailed for a total of more than 70 years.
Gang members plied the teens with alcohol and drugs before treating them like "pieces of meat".
It was the biggest child sexual exploitation crown court case involving men from Rochdale since 2012, when nine were convicted of grooming and abusing girls as young as 13.
