Sheffield Crown Court heard during a nine-week trial how nine men had pleaded not guilty to rape charges concerning the same teenage girl between September, 2010, and December, 2012.
Peter Hampton, prosecuting, said the complainant complained in 2011 but South Yorkshire Police did not investigate until five years after they had first been informed.
