Two men and two teenage boys have been found guilty of a series of rapes and serious sexual offences against girls in Peterborough.
Zdeno Mirga, 18, was convicted of eight counts of rape and one count of inciting child prostitution by a jury at the Old Bailey.
Two boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were also convicted of various counts of rape and sexual assault.
Between them, Mirga and the two boys were convicted of 14 counts of rape.
Hassan Abdulla, 33, was found guilty of four counts of rape and two counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Zdeno Mirga's brother Dusan, 20, and David Ziga, 19, and a teenage boy, were found not guilty.
The offences were alleged to have happened in Peterborough from April to December 2012.
Judge John Bevan QC gave a majority instruction to the jury.
Afterwards, Detective Superintendent Gary Ridgway said: "Today's convictions are part of the ongoing joint inquiry by Cambridgeshire Constabulary and Peterborough City Council's Children's social care to safeguard young people and bring offenders to justice.
"This case was entirely victim-led. We, along with Peterborough City Council Children's Services, identified young people who we believed were at risk of harm, engaged with them and, as a result, identified a number of people who were exploiting them.
"These girls were targeted simply because they were vulnerable.
"They were seen as easy targets and exploited by this group of teenage boys and young men who abused them for their own sexual gratification.
"The victims, who were as young as 12 years old, were subjected to horrific ordeals. But they have shown incredible strength throughout this process: in particular by giving evidence at court in order to bring these people to justice.
"We are committed to helping those girls pick up the pieces and move on with their lives.
"Our priority has always been, and remains, to safeguard young people.
"We will continue to work with the city council and other partner agencies to keep young people safe from harm."
