A girl has been left traumatised after she was groomed and sexually abused by up to 300 men by the time she was just 17.
The girl was initially targeted by vile predators at 14-years-old and would regularly escape through windows after her parents locked her in the house to try and keep her safe.
Her family contacted social services after she would often return home dishevelled and under the influence of alcohol and drugs, Leeds Crown Court heard on Wednesday.
During one incident, she was naked from the waist down when she arrived back to the house, Leeds Live reports.
The court was told how the girl was sexually assaulted and raped by men who would continuously preyed on her.
Another terrifying incident saw a man hold a knife to her throat while he assaulted her.
Prosecutor Kate Batty told the court the girl's parents was told by social services on one occasion that "she must love it if she keeps going back."
She added that the girl said she was abused by between 200 and 300 men by the time she was 17.

Hussain was 17 at the time he tried to rape the girl in a bathroom at a house in Moorbottom Road, Huddersfield. The house was regularly used by a grooming gang to abuse vulnerable teenage girls from the area.
Hussain, who is now 33, was known to the girl as "nurse" and attempted to rape her in a bathroom. Ms Batty said the girl was "ragged about" and Hussain "pulled at her arms and head" before she told him she needed a glass of water.
The prosecutor said: "She tried putting him off by saying, 'give me five minutes' and then used the excuse that she needed to get him some water. He told her to go back but she didn't and he went downstairs and slapped her in the face in front of everyone and said, 'You do it for other people but not me, what's wrong with me?'"
In a statement to the court the woman said the abuse she suffered as a teenager has led to her suffering depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. She has also been diagnosed with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Street Disorder) and bulimia.
Hussain was arrested on suspicion of attempted rape in 2018 when he was already serving a sentence of 17 years for rape and sexual assault. All of his offending took place between 2004 and 2009. He is already subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
He was arrested and charged as part of the long-running Operation Tendersea investigation into a Huddersfield grooming gang between the years of 2004 and 2011.

The operation was set up in 2013 after a young woman told police she had been sexually abused as a child. The first arrests were made three years later and as of August last year, 38 men - including Hussain - had been convicted of historic sexual offences and had been handed jail sentences making a total of over 420 years.
Mitigating, David Harounoff told the court Hussain had gone through a difficult childhood himself and had watched his violent beat his mother, who later went on to be hospitalised due to her mental health.
Hussain appealed directly to Judge Geoffrey Marson QC and told him he is "tormented" himself by what he has done.
He added: "I am sincerely sorry for my actions. I am sorry again to her for everything she has had to endure.
"There is no justification or any excuse that I can say but I was a child and I was influenced and I came into the hands of cunning friendships that led me to a path that was unknown to me.
"I wish I had the foresight what I have today because of what I have experienced. I'm really sorry to everyone, especially my family who I am unable to face because of the embarrassment they are having to endure."
Judge Marson jailed Hussain for a further two years and added that his victim was "particularly vulnerable and everybody knew that and at the time you abused her you played your part in her psychological harm."
