A MARRIED dad was "outraged" at allegations he groomed, drugged, raped, and sold underage girls for sex, the Old Bailey heard this afternoon.

Mohammed Karrar, 38, is one of nine men who deny involvement in an alleged child prostitution ring in Oxford.

The father-of-four, who began giving evidence today, is accused of abusing the alleged victims known as Girl 3 and 4.

Girl 4 claims he raped her from the age of 11, injected her with heroin, sexually assaulted her with a baseball bat, and made her have an illegal abortion when he got her pregnant aged 12.

Prosecutor Noel Lucas said he must have been "horrified" and "outraged" by the accusations.

And Karrar said: "Something like that yeh."

Karrar said the girls had made up the allegations and he had perhaps been mistaken for another "Mo".

The trial continues.
