Oxford exploitation trial: Girl's father 'pleaded for help'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-21337540
Quote:
The father of a schoolgirl allegedly abused by a child sex ring in Oxford pleaded with police and social workers for help, a court has heard.
The man said his daughter, then 13, would go missing and return home in men's clothing, the Old Bailey heard.
Giving evidence, the girl's father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, broke down as he described how she would return home in a filthy condition.
On one occasion he asked police to take clothes for forensic examination but they refused, the jury heard.
The girl had begun to lose weight and would have nightmares in which she would scream "get them off me", it was heard.
Her father told jurors he was warned by police to stop searching Oxford late at night looking for his daughter and claimed officers knew where she had been.
The family pleaded for her to be placed in secure accommodation by social services to stop her disappearing.
"Under normal police protection she continued to be abused," the father said.
"It was a heartbreaking thing to do."
