Nine men have been charged with sexual offences against a single teenage girl in Rochdale.
The men, aged between 26 and 39, were arrested in May as a result of an inquiry into the sexual exploitation of a teenage girl since 2005.
All of the accused, apart from two, will appear in a series of separate hearings from 7 November to 6 December at Bury Magistrates' Court.
The men have all been remanded on bail, Greater Manchester Police said.
