IN 2012, nine men were jailed for up to 25 years each for sexually exploiting teenage girls in the Rochdale area of the UK between 2005 and 2013.

Susan Hogg, executive producer of Three Girls, a new drama about three of the victims, remembers listening to one of the girls being interviewed after the trial.
