In a Sheffield Crown Court trial, Romulad Stefan Houphouet and Absolom Sigiyo were sentenced for grooming and raping vulnerable girls in Rotherham. Over six months, they and other men repeatedly sexually assaulted the teenagers, who were living in a children's home and were targeted due to their vulnerability. Prosecutors revealed that these men, significantly older than the victims, exploited their power and manipulated them, showcasing the serious societal issue of child sexual exploitation and the need for vigilance and justice.
