The jury in a child sex trial was today resuming its deliberations.

Three men are alleged to have gang-raped a young girl while an older girl was forced to watch.

Kevin Wright, 38, Alan Morrison, 47, and Graham Blowers, who has since died, are claimed to have carried out the assault.

Wright, of Portwood Street, Heaton, Bradford, denies two charges of raping the younger girl between March 2002 and March 2003.

He and Morrison also deny two further charges of raping the girl between July 2003 and March 2004.

Both have also pleaded not guilty to two charges of committing an act of gross indecency by making the older girl watch the rapes.

A third defendant, David Potts, 60, of Driffield, East Yorkshire, denies two offences of raping the younger girl between March 2003 and March 2004.

Julie Ogg, of Bradford, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of child cruelty.

She was cleared of a third similar charge on the direction of Judge Scott Wolsten-holme.

The jury of seven women and five men at Bradford Crown Court retired to consider its verdicts yesterday afternoon after a two-week trial.
