Two men have been jailed for raping a teenage girl in Rotherham more than two decades ago.
Kessur Ajaib, 44, received eight-and-a-half years for one count of rape and one count of indecent assault. Mohammed Makhmood, 43, got a seven-year sentence for one count of rape.
Their convictions relate to the same victim, who was aged between 14 to 16 at the time.
Sheffield Crown Court heard in July that after Makhmood raped the girl, he called her demeaning names, spat at her and laughed at her.
The pair were sentenced at the same court on Monday after being found guilty alongside another man, Sageer Hussain, in the summer.
Hussain was convicted of raping a different victim, who the National Crime Agency (NCA) said was aged “about 14” at the time. Last month he received a three year jail sentence at Sheffield Crown Court for the crime, committed when he was also 14.
The NCA investigated the men as part of Operation Stovewood, the investigation into grooming and child sexual abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013.
