Seven men have been charged with a total of 40 offences as part of an investigation into group-based child exploitation.
The men – six aged 20 and one aged 21 – were arrested on Wednesday following raids on six addresses in Norwich and one in Dumbarton, Scotland.
The charges relate to two victims, aged in their early to mid-teens at the time of the alleged offences, said to have happened between August 2023 and May 2025 in Norwich.
All seven men spoke only to confirm their names when they appeared before magistrates in Norwich earlier.
