"CUSTOMERS" would pay up to £600 to have sex with a 12-year-old girl because of her "soft baby skin", the Old Bailey heard this afternoon.

A teenage woman told the court a gang would charge up to £400 for sex or up to £600 if men wanted to tie her up.

Known as Girl 4 as she cannot be named, the witness was giving evidence at the trial of nine men accused of running a child sex exploitation gang in Oxford.

She says she was raped and sold for sex by brothers Mohammed and Bassam Karrar between the ages of 11 and 15.

She said the pair took her for sex at the Nanford Guest House about 50 times.

She said she never had a say and never got more than £20.

And she said men liked her because she had "soft baby skin".

The teenager said Mohammed Karrar ordered her to perform a sex act for a man on his birthday. But she bit the man.

She said to punish her, Karrar hit her and raped her in front of a window.

She said: "I was saying stop and I'm sorry and I love you and I don't want to be doing this."

The nine defendants deny all 51 counts.

The trial continues.
