Two brothers and their cousin groomed and sexually abused five teenage girls after giving them drink and drugs, a trial heard.Five girls, now adults, allege they were sexually abused by three men in Bury in the late 1990s.
Manzorr Hussain, 54, and his cousin Imtiaz Ali, 53, are standing trial at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester.
They deny all the charges.
Ms Pope claimed Ghulam Hussain was the 'main man', who allegedly abused teenage girls then 'passed them around to others' including his brother Manzorr Hussain and cousin Mr Ali.
The trio all ran market stalls, it was said.
Ghulam Hussain, formerly of Manchester Road, Bury, lived in a large home with his wife and children, jurors heard.
His younger brother Manzoor Hussain allegedly raped and abused girls and 'arranged for other girls to be available' for other men, prosecutors said.
Ms Pope said 'parties' would be held at an address linked to Mr Ali, where girls would be given drugs and alcohol and be 'expected to provide sexual services to those there'.
One girl allegedly raped by both men on trial claimed she was told that if she didn't do what they told her she would be taken to the moors, have her clothes taken and left there.
Mr Hussain, of Manchester Road, Bury, denies seven counts of rape; and seven counts of indecent assault.
Mr Ali, of Ainsworth Road, Radcliffe, Bury, denies five counts of rape; five counts of indecent assault; and one count of attempted indecent assault.
