A report by the Centre for Social Justice has said more than 1,000 adults and children were trafficked into or within the UK in 2011/2012 (file picture posed by model)
A teenage girl was raped 90 times in one weekend it has been revealed, in a shocking report into modern-day slavery in the UK.
The report, due to be published tomorrow by the Centre for Social Justice, contains evidence from the girl, who was 16 at the time she was taken into slavery and raped by 90 men.
The girl, who gave evidence to the committee despite still being ‘deeply traumatised’ by the attacks, did not come from a background which put her at risk, but became enslaved after befriending girls vulnerable to abuse, it has been reported.
Andrew Wallis, chairman of the working group that produced the report, would only tell the committee the girl ‘is now safe’ when asked what had happened to her since the attacks, according to the Sunday Times.
The report claims efforts to tackle modern slavery in the UK, including the sexual exploitation of children, are in a state of crisis.

ROCHDALE GROOMING GANG
Nine Asian men were jailed last year for between four and 19 years for grooming young white girls in and around the town of Rochdale.
The men picked them up from the school gates and took them to houses and flats to be plied with alcohol and drugs before being passed around for sex.
Forty-seven children were identified as victims of the exploitation that left many of their lives in tatters.



The girl was subjected to a string of assaults over four days after being trafficked from her home in London to Ipswich, prosecutors told Norwich Crown Court (pictured)
