Seven men will be sentenced tomorrow for a string of child sex offences perpetrated in the 2000s

A victim of the Rotherham child abuse scandal gave a powerful victim impact statement, addressing all of the defendants in the dock as she told them “I am your karma” The defendants arrived individually, waving to their families in the public gallery.

Sheffield Crown Court heard that the victims had to time and again carry out identification procedures, confronting each man one by one to confirm their identity.

A nine-week trial concluded in June , finding seven men guilty of a range of sex abuse crimes.

Victim : 'You took my childhood, my innocence, my freedom, my family' She said: 'For years I’ve suffered and still do with flash backs, or I'll get a whiff of one of my abusers' smells and sometimes I still hear your laughs as you raped me' The second victim's victim impact statement was delivered by a prosecuting barrister as she watched on via video link.

Operation Stovewood was launched in 2014 after a report by Alexis Jay exposed a widespread child abuse crisis in Rotherham , with over 1,400 children sexually abused, predominantly by British-Pakistani men.

Over 33 people have now been convicted of offences by NCA officers in the operation, which is looking into historic abuse during the same period.
