A convicted grooming gang who were based in Halifax have had their bid to reduce their sentences denied.
Appeals were lodged by Hedar Ali, Haider Ali, Khalid Zaman, Mohammed Ramzan, Tahir Mahmood, and Taukeer Butt.
They were among 16 men convicted at Leeds Crown Court in 2016.
Denying the requests for sentence reductions, a Court of Appeal judge said the ordeal of one of the victims, who was said to have been passed around like a "sex toy" between 2009 and 2011, "transcends the imagination of most people".
