Winnipeg police have charged 13 men with sexually exploiting a teenage girl over a period of several years.

Police say the alleged victim, who is now an adult, told investigators she was sexually abused by a large number of men when she was between 12 and 17.

Police allege the victim was given money for sex by men who were much older than her, some of whom were acquaintances of her family.

The accused are between 41 and 69 and face charges including sexual interference and sexual assault.

They have been released on promises to appear in court at a later date.
