AN 11th man has been charged with sexually abusing teenage girls by police working on the Operation Bullfinch child exploitation investigation.

Shah-Nawaz Khan, of Botley Road in Oxford, has been charged with sexual activity with a girl aged between 13 and 15 and two counts of sexual assault. The charges relate to two girls, said police.

The 22-year-old is next due to appear at Oxford Crown Court on July 19 for a plea and case management hearing.

Police charged Khan in March but did not release this information to the public. A spokeswoman said this was an unintentional error.

A jury at the Old Bailey is currently deliberating on charges faced by nine men in relation to allegations six girls were sexually abused and exploited by a gang.

The seven men and five women of the jury retired to consider the trial on Thursday afternoon and completed their first full day of deliberation yesterday.

They are due to resume deliberation on Monday at 9.30am.

Nine defendants deny 66 charges. They are: Kamar Jamil, 27, of Aldrich Road, Summertown, Oxford; Akhtar Dogar, 32, of Tawney Street, East Oxford; Anjum Dogar, 31, of Tawney Street, East Oxford; Assad Hussain, 32, of Ashhurst Way, Rose Hill, Oxford; Mohammed Karrar, 38, of Kames Close, Cowley; Bassam Karrar, 33, of Hundred Acres Close, Cowley; Mohammed Hussain, 25, of Horspath Road, Cowley, Oxford; Zeeshan Ahmed, 27, of Palmer Road, Wood Farm, Oxford; Bilal Ahmed, 26, of Suffolk Road, Maidenhead.
