The convictions following a five-week trial at Bradford Crown Court
Eleven men have been convicted of sex offences against an underage girl in West Yorkshire.
The group, all from Bradford and Keighley, had denied assaulting the teenager between 2011 and 2012.
The jury heard the girl, aged 13 and 14 at the time, had been exploited and used for sex in various locations including an underground car park.
Three others were acquitted following a five-week trial at Bradford Crown Court.
The girl was described in court as leading a "chaotic existence" at the time and had been reported missing from home on more than 70 occasions over a two-year period.
The jury heard her meetings with the men had been arranged by "drug dealer" Arif Choudhury, who was not on trial.
'Complex' investigation
The men had all denied the charges which related to the same girl apart from one charge of rape:
Yasser Kabir, 25, of Belgrave Road, Keighley was convicted of three counts of rape
Tauqeer Hussain, 23, of Belgrave Road, Keighley, was also convicted of three counts of rape, one of which related to a second victim
Sufyan Zirab, 22, of Kendal Mellor Court, Keighley, and Bilal Ziarab, 21, of Sedgwick Close, Manningham, Bradford, were found guilty on two rape charges
Israr Ali, 19, of Devonshire Street West; Nazir Khan, 23, of Buxton Street and Zain Ali, 20, of Buxton Street, all Keighley, were found guilty of one count of rape
Faisal Khan, 27, of Buxton Street, Lawkholme; Hussain Sardar, 19, of Bradford Street, Lawkholme and Saqib Younis, 29, of Bradford Street, Lawkholme, all Keighley, were also convicted of one charge of rape.
Mohammed Akram, 63, of Holker Street, Keighley, was found guilty of sexual activity with a child under 16.
A 12th man, Khalid Raja Mahmood, 34, of no fixed address, had earlier pleaded guilty to five charges of rape.
The group was remanded in custody and will be sentenced in February.
Speaking after the verdicts, Det Ch Insp Chris Walker, from West Yorkshire Police, paid tribute to the victim who had "shown great courage" in speaking up.
He added: "This has been a very challenging, complex and sensitive investigation.
"Child sexual exploitation is one of the most important challenges facing the police.
"It is totally unacceptable and it is the responsibility of all agencies, communities and individuals to identify those responsible and help bring them to justice."
Rohail Iqbal, 22, of Skipton Road, Beechcliffe, Keighley, Rohail Hussain, 18, of Hawk Street, Lawkholme, Keighley and a 17-year-old youth, were all cleared of rape by the jury.
