In this case, seven defendants were convicted and handed a jail sentence for 101 years in 2018 for their abuse of five girls in Rotherham between 1998 and 2005.
The gang's ringleader - Mohammed Imran Ali Akhtar - was given a jail sentence of 23 years.
Patrick Christys revealed on his GB News show: “The taxpayer-funded legal aid paid to the legal representatives acting for a single Rotherham grooming gang has topped £600,000.
“The costs are set to soar further. Ringleader Mohammed Imran Ali Akhtar was handed a whopping £143,500 to fund his defence at trial between 2017 to 2019.
