The victims were abused over a seven-year period in a Glasgow drug den which became known as "the beastie house".

The brutal attacks against several children at a Glasgow drugs den could have been prevented by child protection services it has been said - a special task force is being set up to learn the failings

During a two-month trial, defence lawyers had argued the children may not have been telling the truth, but prosecutors said it would be "off the scale devious" to make up crimes of the "most monstrous kind".

The Scottish government insists it is working to ensure "nothing like this ever happens again" after abuse gang is jailed.
