Four further men have been found guilty of sexually abusing a girl who was living in a children's home in Bradford in the early 2000s.
A total of 13 men have now been convicted of offences against the girl, known as "Anna", including a man who groomed and "married" her when she was 15.
Earlier, Mohammed Baig, 47, Sohail Hussain, 40, Mohammed Suleman, 45, and Khurram Iqbal, 40, were convicted of sexual offences at Bradford Crown Court.
Baig, Hussain, Suleman and Iqbal, all from Bradford, were released on conditional bail and are due to be sentenced at the same court on 22 October.
The court heard Anna was sexually exploited by men from the age of 13, and the abuse continued after she was moved to a children's home.
Baig was convicted of three counts of rape and two counts of indecent assault, with Hussain found guilty of rape and indecent assault.
Suleman was convicted of two counts of indecent assault and Iqbal was convicted of indecent assault and found not guilty of rape.
Anna spoke to the BBC in 2019 about being groomed after seeing one of her abusers, Basharat Khaliq, in a Look North TV news report about sexual exploitation.
Khaliq, 45, was convicted in 2025 of her rape and indecent assault and jailed for 21 years.
In a separate trial, a jury was told that Anna had an Islamic wedding ceremony at the age of 15 to Raja Zulqurnean, who groomed and abused her.
Zulqurnean, 43, was jailed for 18 years for rape and indecent assault but the sentence was later increased to 23 years by appeal court judges.
