Two men accused of having sex with a Worcester schoolgirl carried out previous crimes against young girls, a jury was told yesterday.

Ombur Hussain had convictions for taking indecent photographs of a 14-year-old girl and possession of the pictures.

Police seized his mobile phone in May 2005 and found a video on it showing him touching the victim's breasts and having intercourse with her, said prosecutor Tariq Shakoor.

The defendant told police he regularly had sex with the teenager and thought she was 17.

The girl refused to make a statement to police but did admit that she had lied to him about her age.

Majid Hussain had convictions for indecent assaults on two girls aged 12 and 16 in June 2003, Worcester Crown Court also heard.

Mr Shakoor said he took them to a fast food restaurant before driving to an unknown location in his taxi. He got into the back of the cab with them and touched the bottom and breasts of the 12-year-old, said Mr Shakoor.

He repeated the behaviour with the 16-year-old - who asked him to stop - then asked for a cuddle. The girls said they had to go to a party.

The defendants and three other men - all from Worcester - were arrested by police in 2008 after another schoolgirl alleged she had sex with them Ombur Hussain, aged 24, of Wylds Lane, Majid Hussain, 36, of Birchfield Close, off Merriman's Hill, and Yasir Saghir, 24, of St George's Lane North, Barbourne, deny one count of sexual activity with a child.

Zafar Hussain, aged 30, of Wylds Lane, denies rape and two counts of sexual activity with a child.

Mohammed Hussain, 23, of Avon Road, denies three counts of sexual activity with a child.

The complainant, who was living with her father, identified all five men to police. She was 95 per cent sure of Ombur Hussain.

Mr Shakoor told the jury the three other men on trial have no previous convictions.

Earlier, the girl's father gave evidence that he first became concerned about her because of the explicit sexual language she used.

She had "blurted out" the rape allegaton while they were on holiday at Christmas 2007 and he went to police "in a state of turmoil" to make a complaint in a bid to protect his daughter. The father described her as "boisterous" and "a bit of a tearaway" and admitted in court he had been an alcoholic up to 2005 and was still partly dependent on drink.

Det Con Wendy Barr told the jury that a school friend of the alleged victim - who has given evidence at the trial - was reluctant at first because she feared reprisals.

The trial continues.
