The girl also said she was made to "feel like a piece of dirt" by the men she claims sexually abused her. 'Bent fingers back'
She described how she was made to have sex with a man in a park in Oxford, which made her "hate" herself. The court heard the girl, who was living in a children's home at the time, went to South Park with a group of Asian men and after a while was left with two of them.
She described how she was given alcohol and made to give the men oral sex.
She told police: "They kept saying horrible things to me, really degrading, that make me feel like a piece of dirt.
"In the end I thought it would be easier to just do it to shut them up."
Jurors were told the next day the alleged victim was made to have sex with a man in another park.
She said when she tried to refuse he told her he was getting angry, adding: "You are not going to like it when I get angry so just make sure you make me happy."
The court heard he bent her fingers back to the point she thought they were going to break before she agreed to have sex with him.
'Given gifts'
When asked by police how having sex made her feel she said: "I just hated myself, I just felt disgusted at myself, and thought why am I doing it? Why is he doing it? He knows how old I am.
The court also heard the girl was "just sick" of her alleged abusers.
"They constantly take advantage and treat me like a piece of meat they can just tread all over," she told police.
"I know they are doing it to other girls as well. I see them doing it. Little girls in school uniforms."
The alleged victim told the court she and a friend would play truant from school when she was about 13 to meet the men, who were nice to her at first.
She said they gave her gifts which she described as "trinkets".
