The case against the pair, who were friends at the time of the abuse, began in 2013 when the victim contacted police to report what had happened.
He said Brooks, of Glendon Street, Stanley Common, and McAuley, of Albany Avenue, Harrogate, had abused him at a house in Ilkeston.
They were sentenced at Derby Crown Court on Thursday, July 14.
