A teenage girl who was cared for to become a 'sex slave' by Asian men in Rochdale, was labeled by social services from the age of 10 years, a court heard.
The victim, now in thirty, said the abuse started when she lived in a children's home, her file held by Rochdale Social Services, claimed that she sold herself for sex.
The woman, identified as Girl B, told Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester that she was repeatedly abused from the age of 13, and that the description of her as a prostitute was 'mean'.
She told the jury during the process of eight men who were accused of taking care of her and another teenager: 'It was in my file when I visited it.
“I read it. I was picked up by the police to hang out and prostitute from the age of 10. “
Girl B denied claims from lawyers who defended the accused that she claimed that she was being abused to get compensation money.
She said it wasn't about money, but she wanted Rochdale social services to “take responsibility.”
She said: 'Because they were those who had to take care of me and take care of me and many bad things happened.

“I have never been able to lead my life. I had trouble enjoying everything, doing everything. Depression, fear to the point that I didn't want to be here. '
Rossano Scamardella KC, continued, said: “You were introduced when you were 13, did you look much older?”
At that age the witness got a picture of himself to look at and said, “I look like a small child.”
Girl B said when the abuse started, she lived in a children's home and started hanging around Rochdale Market, where Mohammed Zahid, then in the forty, owned a stall.
Every week she claimed that she was taken to a store in Rochdale from another man – Mushtaq Ahmed.
In the cold, damp basement under the store, she was repeatedly raped on a dirty bare mattress by both the maternity holder Zahid and shop owner, Ahmed.
Mr. Scamardella said, “Did they take two turns to you?”
“Yes,” she replied, “in the same night. I closed my eyes and prayed that it was over. '
On other occasions she said that Ahmed would take her and Zahid to a house in Chadderton near Rochdale.
Other men, including Kasir Bashir, who spoke a language that she did not understand, would go there and her sexual abuse.
She said, “I would go upstairs and wait in the bedroom.”
Mr. Scamardella said: 'Did you know what would happen? This was when you were 13? '
“Yes,” the witness replied. “I would undress and lie on the bed.”
Mr Scamardella continued: “What would they do to you?”
“Vermie me,” said the witness.
The eight accused, all taxi controllers or connected to Rochdale Market, all deny several sexual offenses, including rape, indecent attack and indeclinity with a child between 2001 and 2006.
