Six men involved in a child sex ring in Aylesbury have been convicted of a total of 20 charges at the Old Bailey.
Four others were cleared of charges ranging from rape to prostitution and administering substances with intent to have sex over six years.
The victims were two schoolgirls and the sustained abuse were gruesome echoes of other sex abuse scandals in Oxford, Rochdale and Rotherham.
The court heard that both girls, who were just 12 and 13 when the abuse started, came from troubled backgrounds and wanted to feel grown up when they were befriended by men who groomed them.
The men showered them with inexpensive gifts such as alcohol, DVDs, food and occasionally drugs and subjected them to horrifying abuse.
In a long-running trial the jury returned their verdicts this afternoon after deliberating  for more than 42 hours.
Vikram Singh, 45 of Aylesbury, was convicted of five charges, including four counts of rape; Asif Hussain, 33 of Milton Keynes, was found guilty of three charges of rape; Arshad Jani, 33 of Aylesbury, was convicted of two counts including rape and conspiracy to rape; Mohammed Imran, 38 of Bradford, was found guilty of five counts, including three counts of rape, and conspiracy to rape and arranging child prostitution; Akbari Khan, 36 of Aylesbury, was convicted of four charges rape and administering a substance with intent; and Taimoor Khan, 29 of Aylesbury, was found guilty of one charge sexual activity with a child under the age of 13. They will be sentenced by Judge John Bevan on September 7.
Harmohan Nangpal, 41 of Hayes; Sajad Ali, 34, of Chesham; Sohail Qamar, 41, of Aylesbury; and Faisal Iqbal, 32, of Aylesbury, were all cleared.
During the trial the jury was told the ring had acted with “total disregard of the law and the legal prohibition on the sexual abuse of children”.
Prosecutor Oliver Saxby QC said  some of the men were married and had children, with some working in the market and a few working as taxi drivers.
One of the two victims estimated that she had sex with 60 men between the ages of 12 and 16.
Saxby said: “Both girls were from unstable backgrounds, making them perfect targets. Their lives were ‘off the rails’.
“They were looking for excitement. For attention. For somewhere to hang out, away from school and home. They were wanting to feel grown up and looked after.
“And they were easy prey for a group of men wanting casual sexual gratification that was easy, regular and readily available.”
Woman A said: “It wasn’t particularly me looking for them. It was them looking for me. It’s just that they pass your number around.
“Or you’re with one of them and they invite three or four of their friends round and then you have to sleep with them.”
The court heard that the grooming by Singh of Woman A was typical of the ring.
He met her in the toy department of Woolworths when she was 12 years old and had gone into town with a friend to watch the Christmas lights being switched on.
The pair exchanged numbers and Singh took Woman A to the cinema to see one of the Santa Claus movies, during the showing they sat at the back.
She said that Singh tried to touch her leg and kiss her, then afterwards they went to McDonalds.
In the weeks that followed Singh lavished Woman A with small gifts like food, drink and DVDs, which led to him visiting her home while her mother was out, and having sex.
This was to be the start of a cycle of abuse with the pair would meet two or three times a week, sometimes in a car or round the back of an Aylesbury nursing home.
The jury was unable to return a verdict on an eleventh defendant, Jerome Joe, 35 of Buckingham, who had faced two charges of rape and sexual activity with a child.
