A High Court in Birmingham, UK has ordered two men to henceforth keep away from girls under the age of 18.
The men, aged 27 and 31, were found with a 17-year-old girl in a car last month and Birmingham City Council social workers and West Midlands Police raised concerns about the vulnerable teenager.
BBC reports that “The two men were arrested in October after officers spotted the girl leaving their car at about 03:00 GMT.
When the men realised officers were following them, they sped off and went through a red light, the court heard.
When the Nissan Micra was eventually stopped, a half empty bottle of vodka was found in the car and the girl's phone number was found on one of the men's mobiles.
The men claimed they had never previously met the teenager.
Lorna Meyer QC, representing Birmingham City Council, said the council and police had identified a "number of individuals" found to be "inappropriately" in the company of the 17-year-old girl.
The order against the two men was the first use of civil injunctions to block child sexual exploitation.
The Council has also launched civil court proceedings against some other men with the aim of protecting youngsters who may not understand what was happening to them.
