Child sex abuse trial: Basharat Hussain "spat on victim and called her 'white trash'"

AN alleged grooming victim was assaulted in Rotherham town centre by abuser Basharat Hussain, who called her "white trash", a court heard.

Sheffield Crown Court was told the girl was initially in a relationship with Arshid Hussain but started going out with his brother Basharat after Arshid was sent to prison for a non-grooming offence, a court heard

She told police when interviewed last year that on the day they met, he drove her to a car park at the Hoober Stand folly near Wentworth and had sex with her, after he had asked her to take drugs to his brother in prison.

"Bash" would go on to supply her with ecstasy “lots of times” when she was just 16, she said, and once violently assaulted her in Rotherham town centre.

The witness, now a 30-year-old woman, told officers she did not press charges because Bash said his family would “go mad” if she did.

She added: “He would spit in my face and things. He called me ‘white trash’ and tell me I was his, no-one else would want me.

“I was scared not to do what he said, because I didn’t want another hiding.

Both men deny all of the charges against them. The trial continues.
