Opening the case, Mark Heywood QC, prosecuting, said: "This case is about seven girls in their early to middle teens who, during the period of March to March , were sexually abused by these defendants. Detailing some of the alleged offending, Mr Heywood described how one of the girls was contacted through her Facebook profile by Numan Mohammed when in her early teens.
The prosecutor added the girl "began to find the tone of messages he was sending to her were growing increasingly inappropriate" and that he "would try and play on her emotions, guilt-tripping her, to use her own words". The Crown's QC said Mohammed - who was known by the nicknames "Nomi" and "Nome" - would become "angry" if she refused his advances, and that on one occasion he performed an indecent act during a Skype call.
The alleged victim would later tell police she was "going through a hard patch" in her life, and felt Mohammed "was the only person who had truly cared".
Mr Heywood said: "That theme of manipulating emotions and manipulating insecurity is one we're going to come across time and again in this case. On another occasion, the same girl was contacted on Facebook by Arslan Tazarab, and was "guilt-tripped" into allegedly having sex with him on two occasions. Mr Heywood said the same girl was also allegedly approached by Ehtasham Tazarab - whom she found "downright creepy" - and who had "tried it on" with her once, but was rebuffed. Another girl alleged that after smoking cannabis together with Mohammed, he had forced her to perform a sex act on him, and that - on a separate occasion - she was assaulted by him in a locked room.
The same girl also claimed she was taken advantage of and assaulted by Usmaan Asghar, while under the influence of cannabis, later telling police: "I just felt loved - and I was lonely. Mr Heywood, whose case opening will continue on Wednesday, said: "The prosecution say While platforms like Grindr may provide gay men with temporary relief from their anxiety and loneliness, the platform has always been seen as a casual dating site. Of course, there have also been cases where users have made a genuine connection that has turned into a serious relationship.
Glii, Kaushik says, is for those who are seriously looking for a friend or relationship. Having worked with the Oberoi Group and Marriott International, Kaushik wanted to merge dating and hospitality in his app. Instead of inviting a stranger home or agreeing to go to his place, meeting at a restaurant offers both a chance to figure out if there is chemistry before taking it to the next level.
The app is free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play store with a paid version that offers more features. A tie-up with restaurant aggregator EazyDiner, gives Glii access to over restaurants in India. For now, a majority of users are from tier-1 and tier-2 cities, Kaushik reveals.
There is also a mechanism to filter out fake profiles and also for users to report such identities.
