Grooming Gangs
Massive exploitation and sexual abuse of white children is being inflicted by hundreds of Asian males throughout the United Kingdom. A report estimated 1,400 children, mostly white, within the city of Rotherham and beyond a suspected 100,000 children, were sexually exploited by Asian gangs over a duration of at least 16 years.

Grooming Gangs
Between the mid-1990s and the late-2000s, gangs of predominantly British Pakistani Muslim men raped and prostituted thousands of predominantly young, white, working-class girls in towns and cities across England. In 2018, the then home secretary, Sajid Javid (born to a British Pakistani family), promised a full-scale review into grooming gangs, in order to establish ‘the characteristics of offenders, victims and the context in which these crimes are committed’.
There would be ‘no no-go areas of inquiry’, he said. ‘We know that in these recent high-profile cases, [the] people convicted have been disproportionately from a Pakistani background.’ Yet despite Javid promising not to ‘let cultural or political sensitivities get in the way of understanding the problem and doing something about it’, it was revealed in February that the findings of the grooming-gang review were to be withheld from the public.
Shocking revelations on BBC Radio 4 by former North West Chief Crown Prosecutor Nazir Afzal, when he revealed a "Government Cover-Up” started 11 years ago in 2008 when the Labour Government under Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, sent-out a circular to all the British police forces’; stating that:
The BBC Radio 4 interview was kept under wraps, and this is why at the time it never caused much of a public outcry, as it was simply ignored by the MSM. And it was not until ex-police officer, Dionne Miller raised the matter of the circular allegedly sent by Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. One of Afzal's first decisions on becoming a chief crown prosecutor was to initiate prosecutions in the case of the Rochdale sex trafficking gang, overturning an earlier decision by the CPS.
Why target our Children?
Most Asian Grooming gangs are operating within an area of Europe known as the Blue Banana (you might of noticed the blue banana shops opening in this region). This area was the expansion of the desendant legacy of Rollo of Normandy since the formation of the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte (area my family are from) in the year of 911.
At present I am uncovering historical evidence that it is this legacy, of the Normans, is being attacked by the Vatican supressing generation after generation with child abuses and also our defunct monarch being beseiged by peadophiles. And now, more recently we are being subordinated with lengthy disparities via defacing acts of racially profiled miscegenation. It is our ancestral spirit they both fear, loath and supress into marginalisation.
Almost 90% of all rapes and child grooming in the UK that was committed by Pakistani’s, resulted in a white girl under 16 being abused. Between 2005-2017 eighty-four percent of grooming gang offenders were South Asian [source: Quilliam Foundation] (Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims). This is alarming considering only two percent of the UK's population is Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslim men, who are collectively responsible for the underage grooming of white girls.
A study named "Group Localised Child Sexual Exploitation Offenders: Who and Why?" [download PDF] pertaining to group child sex exploitation (grooming gangs), looked into grooming gang trials from 1997-2017 in the UK. The authors, Kish Bhatti-Sinclair [University of Chichester] and Charles Sutcliffe [University of Reading - ICMA Centre], gathered information on all the UK grooming gang prosecutions between 1997 and 2017 from over two thousand local and national media reports. Out of 498 accused, 83% were Muslims.
The data shows Muslims, who were 5% of the population in 2011, were 83% of the grooming gang defendants. This translates to 1 in 2200 Muslims (aged 16+) being arrested for such crimes, making them a staggering 92.7 times more likely to be arrested than non-Muslims. To put it in context; to balance the arrest rates between Muslims and non-Muslims, the media would've needed to overlook an astounding 7,847 non-Muslim grooming gang crimes.
A Home Office report, actually reveals that Whites (88% of the population at the time of these studies) are underrepresented, while Asians (7% of the population) and Blacks (3% of the population) are overrepresented. Even study b, which claims Whites are the largest category, the report shows: 35% were White (with only 11% being British) 28% were of Asian & Middle Eastern descent (10x more likely than Whites to commit group CSE) 16% were Black (13.4x more likely than Whites).
Even the most generous reports show BAME groups are 10 times more likely to commit group CSE. For context, worldwide, men are only 9 times more likely to murder than women
Rotherham
The Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal consisted of the organised child sexual abuse that occurred in the town of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, Northern England from the late 1980s until the 2010s and the failure of local authorities to act on reports of the abuse throughout most of that period. Researcher Angie Heal, who was hired by local officials and warned them about child exploitation occurring between 2002 and 2007, has since described it as the “biggest child protection scandal in UK history”.
The Times articles, along with the 2012 trial of the Rochdale child sex abuse ring, prompted the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee to conduct hearings. Following this and further articles from Norfolk, Rotherham Council commissioned an independent inquiry led by Professor Alexis Jay. In August 2014, the Jay report concluded that an estimated 1,400 children, most of them white British girls, had been sexually abused in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013 by predominantly British-Pakistani men (Kurdish and Kosovar men were also involved).

A “common thread” was that taxi drivers had been picking the children up for sex from care homes and schools. The abuse included gang rape, forcing children to watch rape, dousing them with petrol and threatening to set them on fire, threatening to rape their mothers and younger sisters, and trafficking them to other towns. There were pregnancies—one at age 12—terminations, miscarriages, babies raised by their mothers, and babies removed, causing further trauma.
The failure to address the abuse was attributed to a combination of factors revolving around race, class, and gender—contemptuous and sexist attitudes toward the mostly working-class victims; fear that the perpetrators' ethnicity would trigger allegations of racism and damage community relations; the Labour council's reluctance to challenge a Labour-voting ethnic minority; lack of a child-centred focus; a desire to protect the town's reputation; and lack of training and resources.
Rotherham Council's chief executive, its director of children's services, and the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire Police all resigned. The Independent Police Complaints Commission and the National Crime Agency both opened inquiries, the latter expected to last eight years. The government appointed Louise Casey to conduct an inspection of Rotherham Council.
Published in January 2015, the Casey report concluded that the council had a bullying, sexist culture of covering up information and silencing whistleblowers, and was “not fit for purpose”. In February 2015, the government replaced the council's elected officers with a team of five commissioners. As a result of new police inquiries, 19 men and two women were convicted in 2016 and 2017 of sexual offences in the town dating back to the late 1980s; one of the ringleaders was jailed for 35 years.
At least 54 police officers operating in and around Rotherham are accused of turning a blind eye to more than a decade of horrific child abuse by gangs of Asian men. Below are three Rotherham police officers from time of the Jay Report.
Not a single police officer has been sacked over widespread failures that let down victims of Asian grooming gangs in Rotherham. A report released 13th November 2021 by the Independent Office for Police Conduct said urgent action was needed to deal with problems that ‘still exist’ in handling child sex abuse cases. Operation Linden probed 47 South Yorkshire Police officers after 44 white girls were abused between 1997 and 2013. But after six years of work, and with only one misconduct hearing outstanding, no officer has been fired for mistakes made.
Peer and former politician Lord Nazir Ahmed has been jailed for five years and six months for the attempted rape of a young girl and sexually assaulting a boy under 11 in the 1970s. The 64-year-old, who has resigned from the House of Lords but retains the title Lord Ahmed of Rotherham, was found guilty at Sheffield Crown Court in January of two counts of attempted rape and one of buggery. The court heard how the repeated abuse happened in Rotherham when he was a teenager in the 1970s. On Friday 4th February 2022 a judge, Mr Justice Lavender, jailed Ahmed for five years and six months.
Ahmed’s two older brothers Mohammed Farouq, 71, and Mohammed Tariq, 66, were also charged with indecent assault in relation to the same boy that Ahmed abused. Both men were deemed unfit to stand trial, but a jury found that they did the acts alleged. Farouq and Tariq were both given absolute discharges after the judge said the only other two options – a hospital order or a supervision order – would not be appropriate in this case. The judge said that according to legal guidelines, the sentence must be in line with the one that would have been imposed at the time the offence was committed. He jailed Ahmed for three and a half years for the offence of buggery, and imposed two concurrent sentences of two years for each of the attempted rapes.
Rochdale
The Rochdale child sex abuse ring involved underage teenage girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Nine men were convicted of sex-trafficking and other offences including rape, trafficking girls for sex and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child in May 2012. This resulted in Greater Manchester Police launching Operation Doublet to investigate further claims of abuse with 19 men so far being convicted. Forty-seven girls were identified as victims of child sexual exploitation during the police investigation.
- Afraz Ahmed (33), guilty of 12 counts, 25 years in prison.
- Choudhry Ikhalaq Hussain (38), guilty of 6 counts, 19 years in prison. Fled to and arrested in Pakistan in January 2020 via a joint operation of UK and Pakistan police. He was extradited to the UK in 2021 to server his sentence.

The men were British Pakistanis, which led to discussion on whether the failure to investigate them was linked to the authorities' fear of being accused of racial prejudice. The girls were mainly White British. In March 2015, Greater Manchester Police apologized for its failure to investigate the child sexual exploitation allegations more thoroughly between 2008–10.
Burton and Burton lawyers acted for four of the Rochdale sex gang as they fought deportation to Pakistan: Shabir Ahmed, Adil Khan, Abdul Aziz and Qari Abdul Rauf.
Some gang members told the court the girls were willing participants and happy having sex with the men. The ringleader, 59-year-old Shabir Ahmed, claimed the girls were "prostitutes" who had been running a "business empire" and it was all "white lies". He shouted in court, "Where are the white people? You have only got my kind here." Shabir Ahmed's threatening behaviour and calling Judge Gerald Clifton a "racist bastard" resulted in him being banned from the court for the sentencing hearing.
Sara Rowbotham, the sexual health worker who first recognized patterns of child abuse in the community and fought to bring these crimes to police attention, was made redundant in 2014. A former Detective Constable who was investigating the grooming gangs, Margaret Oliver, resigned in 2012 in disgust of the handling of the cases by the police force and spoke out as a whistleblower to inform the public.
Operation Exmoor, has identified ten new victims in Rochdale aged nine to 16 who were sexually abused between 2008 and and 2013. A wide range of alleged offences committed against them includes rape and sexual assault. It was begun after a review of Operation Span, an investigation into an infamous child sex grooming gang led by Shabir Ahmed, known as "Daddy". Ahmed and eight others were convicted and jailed for a series of sex crimes committed against five girls who were abused and then 'shared' at sex parties across the north west between 2005 and 2008, although details of their crimes only emerged in 2012.
A victim (under a sudo name of Daisy) of Rochdale grooming gangs has told the BBC that convictions she received as a teenager - for offences linked to the abuse she was suffering - have destroyed her hopes of a career. The convictions she received as a teen continue to hold her back to this day. She had ambitions to become a social worker, to use her painful past to help others in the future.
But because of an obligation to disclose criminal convictions, she has been prevented from pursuing her chosen career. The men who abused her have never been prosecuted Harriet Wistrich, director of the Centre for Women's Justice, as supported her in a civil action against Greater Manchester Police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
Since release the trio Qari Abdul Rauf, Abdul Aziz and Adil Khan have been facing deportation since 2018 after losing an appeal to retain their British citizenship. MP Tony Lloyd said the government had shown "grossly unacceptable inaction". Former police detective Maggie Oliver, who resigned over the way the cases were handled by Greater Manchester Police, said news of the sighting of Rauf had made her "blood boil".
Seven years after being told they face deportation two of the men are still appealing using Article 8 of the ECHR - their right to a private and family life. The legacy of Rochdale grooming gangs legal fees have drawn £2,025,363 from assistance of legal aid.
Five RAPISTS jailed for 70 YEARS for non-recent CHILD sexual exploitation in ROCHDALE. Five men have been jailed for more than seven decades for non-recent child sexual exploitation in Rochdale, following a partnership response by Greater Manchester Police, Rochdale Council and the Crown Prosecution Service. Mohammed Ghani, 39, Insar Hussain, 38, Jahn Shahid Ghani, 50, Martin Rhodes, 39, and Ali Razza Hussain Kazmi, 36, were found guilty of abusing and sexually exploiting two teenage girls between 2002 and 2006.
Yesterday (31 October 2023), Jahn Shahid Ghani was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment for six counts of sexual assault and one count of causing a child to engage in sexual activity, Mohammed Ghani was sentenced to 14 years for five counts of sexual assault. Insar Hussain was sentenced to 17 years for one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault, Ali Razza Hussain Kazmi was sentenced to eight years for one count of rape and two counts of sexual intercourse with a child, and Martin Rhodes was sentenced to 12 years six months for four counts of sexual assault.
Katie Hopkins was reported to the police after she was accused by Labour MP for Rochdale Simon Danczuk of inciting racial hatred. The Sun columnist appeared to equate men of Pakistani origin to child abusers in a series of posts on Twitter. Her comments follow a lengthy argument with Danczuk on the social network about his decision to mark National Pakistan Day on 23 March in Rochdale by raising the Pakistani flag for 30 minutes. Hopkins claimed it was wrong to raise the flag in the constituency where, in 2012, nine men were jailed for their part in a paedophile ring. Eight of the men were of Pakistani origin.
Blackburn
A gang of nine Asian men who groomed white girls as young as 13 with drink and drugs have been sentenced on the 9th of May 2012. The men were convicted on the 8th of May of conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with children under the age of 16 and other offences. Judge Clifton said the men had been convicted for their “grave” sexual offences, which involved “grooming and sexually exploiting” several young girls.
- Kabeer Hassan, 25, was jailed for nine years for rape and three years, concurrently, for the conspiracy conviction.
- Abdul Aziz, 41, was sentenced to nine years for conspiracy and nine years, concurrently, for trafficking for sexual exploitation.
- Abdul Rauf, 43, was jailed for six years for conspiracy and six years, concurrently, for trafficking for sexual exploitation.
- Mohammed Sajid, 35, was sentenced to 12 years for rape, six years for conspiracy, one year for trafficking and six years, all concurrent, for sexual activity with a child.
- Adil Khan, 42, was given eight years for conspiracy and eight years, concurrently, for trafficking for sexual exploitation.
- Mohammed Amin, 45, was sentenced to five years for conspiracy and 12 months, concurrently, for sexual assault.
- Abdul Qayyum, 44, was jailed for five years for conspiracy.
- Hamid Safi, 22, was jailed for four years for conspiracy and one year, concurrently, for trafficking.
The man seen as the ringleader, a 59-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons, was jailed for a total of 19 years for conspiracy, two counts of rape, aiding and abetting a rape, sexual assault and a count of trafficking within the UK for sexual exploitation. The defendant was previously banned from court because of his threatening behaviour and for calling the judge a “racist bastard”.
Summing up, Judge Gerald Clifton said:
Two girls were abducted from social services care by older men, who plied them with ecstasy and alcohol and had sex with them. The first lived at a children's home in Lancashire and the second had been placed with foster parents but - because of her persistent truancy - she was moved to a children's home in Wales. The girls were given ecstasy tablets throughout the night by the two men, along with alcohol, the court was told.
- Zulfar Hussain, 46, from Cowell Way, Blackburn was sentenced to five years and eight months for "exploiting" the vulnerable under 16s.
- Qaiser Naveed, 32, from Colne Road, Burnley was sentenced to five years and eight months for "exploiting" the vulnerable under 16s.
Hussain and Naveed admitted abducting a child, sexual activity with the same child and supplying the youngsters with ecstasy. They were ordered to sign the sex offender's register for life and banned for life from associating with girls aged under 16 for life. The court heard that the immigration authorities were currently making efforts to deport Naveed, but not in relation to the current case. After the hearing, Chief Inspector Alice Knowles said: "These girls were vulnerable and more susceptible to their grooming techniques of offering them drugs and alcohol.".
Carlisle
A Carlisle takeaway boss was jailed for 15 years in May, 2012 for attempting to recruit four girls aged between 12 and 16 into prostitution. Azad Miah, 44, was also found guilty of running a brothel from his business and paying two teenagers for sex. The married father-of-two was owner of the former Spice of India restaurant. Judge Peter Hughes, QC, said the case at Carlisle Crown Court showed "the seedier side" of UK towns and called for more protection for children. Det Insp Geoff Huddlestone of Cumbria Police, said Miah had got the sentence he deserved and that he had "committed heinous crimes".
The hearing heard that one girl was encouraged to have sex with him out of desperation for cash when she was 15, while he had a sexual relationship with the other, a heroin addict, when she was aged between 15 and 17. The jury also heard that the Bangladeshi national had targeted "desperate and vulnerable" victims and treated them in a "cold and clinical way". The court heard the 12-year-old girl had complained to police three times about Miah persistently harassing her in 2008, three years before his arrest. She said she eventually gave up complaining because nothing was done, although Miah's legal team said there was no official record of her complaints.
Judge Hughes said: "Over a number of years, behind the veil of a seemingly respectable business, you preyed on the immaturity and vulnerability of young girls from troubled and chaotic home backgrounds. You sought to draw them into a life of drug dependency and sleazy sex for money. When you did not desire their sexual services for yourself you made them available to others. Your conduct corrodes the foundations of decency and respect by which all right-thinking people live their lives whatever their ethnic or religious background." The hearing also heard that up to 30 potential victims of Miah were approached as part of the investigation but many were reluctant to come forward and give evidence.
Newcastle
The Newcastle sex abuse ring were a gang of seventeen men and a woman who sexually abused adolescent girls and young women from 2010 to 2014 in Newcastle upon Tyne after plying them with alcohol and drugs. The men were of Albanian, Kurdish, Bangladeshi, Turkish, Iranian, Iraqi, Eastern European and Pakistani heritage who were aged between 27 and 44.
A total of 17 men and one woman have been convicted of offences including rape, sexual abuse, supplying drugs and trafficking for sexual exploitation in a series of trials over the Newcastle case.
The woman was a 22-year-old white British woman. A British man of Indian heritage was charged for conspiracy to incite prostitution and supplying drugs to a victim. The victims ranged in age from 13 to 25.
The 18 gang members were convicted of nearly 100 offences:

The British Labour politician Sarah Champion claimed regarding media news about this and previous trials, that there is a need to “acknowledge” that in all of the towns where similar cases have occurred “the majority of the perpetrators have been British Pakistani”. She said: “We have got now, hundreds of Pakistani men who have been convicted of this crime, why are we not commissioning research to see what is going on and how we need to change what is going on. (…) I genuinely think that it’s because more people are afraid to be called a racist than they are afraid to be wrong about calling out child abuse.”
The facilitator of this asian sex gang who found young white girls for them to sexually exploit told police they deserved it. Carolann Gallon, 22, the only woman convicted as part of the gang, trafficked girls as young as 13-years-old across the north of England and was jailed for six years and three months.
The mother-of-two once took a young girl to a flat where was forced alcohol and drugs and only woke up while she was being raped, Newcastle Crown Court heard. The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, described how Abdulhamid Minoyee, 34, abused her and then “grinned” after the violent sex attack After Gallon’s arrest she said the abuse the girls’ were given was “self-inflicted” and insisted they weren’t children despite some being under 16.
A gang who groomed and raped a 13-year-old girl, using threats to kill and kidnap, have been handed jail terms. The four attackers were aged between 15 and 21 when they abused the victim between August 2018 and April 2019, Newcastle Crown Court heard. The girl said they "tortured" her, making childhood a "living nightmare". Brothers Omar and Mohamed Badreddin and Huzaefa Aleboud were found guilty of multiple rapes. Hamoud Al Soaimi was found guilty of sexual assault. The men, the first three of whom must sign the sexual offenders' register for life and Al Soaimi for 10 years, received the following sentences:
- Omar Badreddin, 26, for five counts of rape, jailed for 18 years
- Mohamed Badreddin, 23, for six counts of rape and one count of assault by penetration, jailed for 13 years
- Huzaefa Aleboud, 23, for assault by penetration, two counts of rape and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, jailed for five and a half years
- Hamoud Al Soaimi, 21, for three counts of sexual assault and one assault by penetration, jailed for two years suspended for two years with 180 hours unpaid work
Judge Amanda Rippon said the girl was already "extremely vulnerable" when she met the "far more sophisticated" males in Newcastle. She was repeatedly abused in the castle keep in Newcastle city centre and behind a burger restaurant after being "groomed" with alcohol and cigarettes, the court heard. Mohamed Badreddin, then aged 17, was "aggressive and rough" with her and threatened that his brother Omar, then aged 20, would "hurt her if she didn't do stuff with him", prosecutor Anne Richardson said.
The girl was also raped at her own home with the brothers, who moved to the UK as refugees from the war in Syria, telling her she would be killed or taken to another country, Ms Richardson said. Ms Richardson said Aleboud, then aged 17 and also a refugee from Syria, "badgered" the girl to have sexual contact with him by saying she had "let" the Badreddin brothers do it, with there then being "ongoing and regular" rapes. Al Soaimi, who was 15 at the time and from Kuwait, was heard by a passing witness saying it was his "turn" with the girl after she had been raped.
In a statement read to the court, the 13-year-old victim, now aged 19, said: "My childhood turned into what I can only describe as a living nightmare." She said she dropped out of school and turned to drugs and self-harming to "cope" with the trauma, adding her family had also been devastated by what happened. The girl said she was "petrified" of the men who had "tortured" her and "hurt [her] in so many ways", adding the experience and impact had been "horrific".
Judge Rippon said the Badreddin brothers, of Middle Garth in Newcastle, led the group and "quickly identified" the girl could be "manipulated" and "groomed". She said they treated her like a "toy" and found it "entertaining", exploiting her and using her for sex. "Even when she begged you to treat her more kindly and told you truthfully she was harming herself and could not cope, you made fun of her," Judge Rippon told the brothers.
Telford
The Telford child sexual exploitation scandal is an ongoing scandal in the United Kingdom. Originally, a group of men were convicted of grooming local children for sex between 2007 and 2009 in Telford in the English county of Shropshire.
While media reports had suggested 100 or more girls had been affected and around 200 perpetrators were suspected, the Sunday Mirror reported in March 2018 that up to 1,000 girls may have been abused, with some even murdered, in incidents dating back to the 1970s. The gang is now assumed to have been operating over a 40 year period.

2020 convictions
A fourth man from Telford has been convicted of sexually abusing a vulnerable young girl who was "passed around like a piece of meat". Three defendants were on Tuesday found guilty of abusing the girl, who said she was forced to perform sex acts in a churchyard and was raped above a shop. The offences took place in the Telford area some time between 2000 and 2003, which prosecutors opening the case started when the girl was 12 years old.
The victim said she was assaulted by other as-yet unidentified males, with the abuse continuing until she was in her mid-teens. Opening the trial, Michelle Heeley QC had said: "This case involves the sexual exploitation of a young girl, a girl passed around like a piece of meat for the sexual gratification of several young men, some of whom are in the dock."
In a series of trials stretching over two years and concluding in May 2013, seven men were convicted of sexual offences against four girls aged 13 to 16. The offences included rape, controlling child prostitution, causing child prostitution, and trafficking for prostitution.
In 2018, investigations by the Sunday Mirror alleged that the extent of the Telford grooming gang was far more vast than had previously been believed, with claims of up to 1,000 girls, most of them white, having been victims of trafficking, drugging, beating, rape and even murder. Similar with other grooming gang cases, it was alleged that the authorities failed to keep details of abusers from Asian communities for fear of being seen as racist, with police having known about gang activities since the early 1980s.
As many as 1,000 children are feared to have been drugged and abused by perverts in Telford, Shrops, since the 1980s — but their hell went on for decades as authorities repeatedly failed to stamp out a network of paedophiles in the town. The number of victims estimated by child abuse experts means there could have been more per head of population than in the scandals that rocked Rochdale and Rotherham in recent years. Social workers were said to have known about the offending as far back as the 1990s, but it took cops a decade to launch a probe. And it is claimed files show council staff regarded children who were abused and trafficked as prostitutes rather than victims.
Vulnerable Lucy Lowe was 16 when abuser Azhar Ali Mehmood, 26, set fire to her house, killing her, her mum Eileen and sister Sarah, 17, in 2000. The taxi driver first targeted her in 1997. She was 14 when she gave birth to his daughter. He was jailed for killing the teen, along with her mum Eileen and her sister Sarah, 17 – but was never arrested or charged over sex abuse. Another victim, who was drugged and gang-raped, said Lucy's killing was a warning to others who might speak out.
Telford's Conservative MP, Lucy Allan, has previously called for a Rotherham-style inquiry into the allegations and called the latest reports 'extremely serious and shocking'. There must now be an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Telford so that our community can have absolute confidence in the authorities,' she told the paper.
“Girls like Becky were treated like criminals. I was crying out for help but it felt like I had nowhere to turn. If Becky's abuse had been properly investigated by the authorities more girls could have been saved from going through this hell.”.
Victims (Beckys) mother Torron Watson
Dino Nocivelli, a specialist child abuse solicitor, said: 'These children were treated as sexual commodities by men who inflicted despicable acts of abuse. The survivors deserve an inquiry. 'They need to know how abuse took place for so long and why so many perpetrators have never been brought to justice.'.
Telford child abuse gang ringleader freed
Sex gang leader Ahdel Ali has been released from prison after serving eight years of a 26-year sentence. He was one of two ringleaders of a sexual grooming gang that preyed on girls as young as 13 in Telford, resulting in the Operation Chalice investigation and an independent child sexual exploitation inquiry. MP Lucy Allan confirmed that Ali, now aged 32, was released on Wednesday, 16th December 2020.
Since 2020 dozens of probes into child sex exploitation in Telford have collapsed – with NO convictions. Over the past decade 37 investigations into child sex crimes involving more than one alleged attacker failed to bring anyone to justice. The new figures sparked outrage just days after it emerged predator Ahdel Ali, 33, was released halfway through an 18-year jail term. Victims – who gave police at least 267 names – fear some of the worst sexual offenders are still at large in the Shropshire town.
One, whose case collapsed after she gave police the names of 68 men, told the Sunday Mirror: “It’s really wrong. These men are getting away with it and their abuse ruins lives.” Many of her claims were backed up by diary entries but the Crown Prosecution Service said there was no realistic prospect of a conviction. Another victim added: “The system is stacked against us. So many people report abuse but nothing happens and when perpetrators do get jailed they get out early. It’s a slap in the face. Sex offenders should be made to serve their full sentence.”.
Police REFUSED to act as Shahzad Khan pimped out under-age white girl earning £2k a night
POLICE were tipped off about Muslim Groomer Shahzad “Keith” Khan, as far back as 1996 but he was allowed to run his “Rape House” for years -The Sunday Mirror reports. He even picked up one sex slave outside a local police station, on multiple occasions. They missed the chance to nail him and a string of other men went begging in 2013 when a police case collapsed. Khan was the head of a family of abusers who subjected dozens of youngsters to a terrifying ordeal.
He operated his child sex ring from an empty ex-council property and sold one girl for sex at up to £2,000 a night. The girl said of her ordeal at Khan’s hands: “I felt numb, dead inside.” Yet Khan operated under the noses of authorities in the area and was even featured in his local paper as a pillar of the community. He was described as a “generous” bird lover who fed pigeons to help him get over a cancer ordeal. Our investigators discovered Khan was reported to police over sex abuse fears in the mid-1990s. Officers were tipped off by a female neighbour who believed he was selling young girls in the town for sex. She had seen him take a 12-year-old girl from a children’s home into a car.
The neighbour said: “I told a police officer at Donnington Police Station what Khan was doing. I even told them that he’d offered my brother sex with an underage girl. “Nothing was done. They told me they couldn’t prosecute him as they’d never have enough evidence. I got the feeling they were brushing me off.” He was later reported to officers by a child sex victim whose police case files have been seen by our team. But no charges were brought against Khan. Victims who were forced to provide sex at Khan’s drab terraced property dubbed it “The Rape House”.
According to police statements and the victim’s testimony, Khan took the virginity of one 14-year-old girl and then made up to £2,000 a night selling her for sex with scores of men. She was even sexually abused within hours of having an abortion. The victim told us how she first fell into Khan’s clutches. She said: “I was already being abused and I didn’t understand what was happening to me. No one talked about grooming back then, or showed us how to spot the signs. “I first met Keith in the street and he told me because I had a reputation anyway I might as well get paid for it. “He told me about all of these older girls I knew from school and how they were doing it too and making loads of money.”
It was the beginning of a three-year ordeal which left the young victim suicidal and broken. She described being forced to have sex with multiple men in restaurants, houses and fast food joints and even being trafficked to Birmingham for more abuse. The girl, now in her 30s, said: “One night, I was taken to a takeaway and forced to have sex with nine men in a row. I just switched off. “As one man raped me, the next one would be queueing up on the stairs. “The next day, I went to school like nothing had happened.” She told how Khan would loiter in betting shops looking for men who had won cash before offering his teenage sex slave to them for money.
He charged “clients” up to £200 for sex but, after taking his cut and charging expenses like petrol, would leave his victim with £30. Khan would punish her if the men did not finish quickly while he waited outside in his black Mercedes. Eventually, when she was 18, the girl escaped to Birmingham after she overdosed in an unsuccessful suicide bid. Another victim we spoke to said she was lured by Khan when she developed a heroin problem after being abused by other Pakistani men. “I come from a respectable family and they have good jobs but soon I was going missing and committing petty crimes because I’d become caught up in this sick world. It nearly tore my mum apart. “My family still hasn’t really recovered,” she added. The woman, also now in her 30s, eventually got clean and escaped but is still haunted by the memories of her abuse.
Both victims describe a den of horrors where Khan’s teenage son Shahmeel would watch porn and perform a sex act in the living room in front of his victims. Shahmeel was later jailed for raping an A-level student and for armed robbery. Another victim we spoke to was lured into the Khan family circle by nephew Mohammed Ali Sultan. She later discovered Sultan had sold her phone number to other men in Telford. She said: “I was getting calls at all hours of the day from older men. Some could barely speak English, but they knew my name and where to find me.” Sultan was jailed for seven years in 2012 after admitting abusing two girls, one just 13. He was locked up for another six years in 2015 when he was convicted of two rapes and one attempted rape. Khan died in 2015 aged 61 without ever having faced justice over the sex abuse ring.
Bolton
A SERVING officer with Greater Manchester Police in Tameside has been jailed for two years for sexually assaulting a young girl. Farooq Ahmed targeted the girl when she was still at primary school by touching her private parts on three occasions. Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard on the first occasion the girl woke up to discover her clothing had been removed. On the next two occasions he touched and licked her private parts and on the last occasion filmed himself doing so but quickly deleted it. He also made sure her hand was touching his genitalia.

Impact statement from the mother of the young girl, which showed the devastating impact of the incidents on her and her daughter. It said when she found out what had happened, “her world fell apart”
Halifax
The Halifax child sex abuse ring was a group of men who committed serious sexual offences against under-aged girls in the English town of Halifax and city of Bradford, West Yorkshire. It was the largest child sexual exploitation investigation in the United Kingdom. In 2016, the perpetrators were found guilty of rape and other crimes in several trials at Leeds Crown Court. In total, as many as a hundred men may have been involved in child abuse. Twenty-five suspects were charged by West Yorkshire Police and the Crown Prosecution Service and 18 of these were found guilty, totalling over 175 years of prison time.
Those found guilty (all of them Muslim Asian men) in June 2016 and their sentences were as follows:
- Hedar Ali, 36, of Bradford, 25 years for rape and trafficking for sexual exploitation
- Haider Ali, 41, of Halifax, 20 years for sexual activity with a child and causing a person to engage in sexual activity

The principal victim was identified as “Jeanette” in government reports. The prosecution said that the girl, who was 13 when the abuse began, came from a troubled family background and was “lonely [and] needy”. The gang exploited her desire for friendship and love, deliberately giving her drink and drugs to turn her into an addict and make her more easily controlled. In interviews with the police, she described being raped and abused in many locations, including private homes in Halifax, Bradford and Manchester, and hotels in Bradford, Leeds, and London. The abuse took place between 2006 and 2011.
“Jeanette” believed that she was abused by at least a hundred men, often more than once a day, and once by nineteen men over a short time. She was infected with gonorrhoea as a result of the abuse and suffered permanent psychological harm. Although she knew many of the men only by their nicknames, the police were able to identify them using CCTV footage from the hotels in which she was abused and by analysing male DNA in stains found on her clothing. Police said it was the largest child sexual exploitation investigation in the country — “bigger than high-profile cases in Rochdale and Rotherham.”.
20/2/2020 - A trial relating to the alleged non-recent sexual exploitation of children in Halifax has been delayed by a year.

Keighley
The Keighley child sex abuse ring was a group of twelve men who committed serious sexual offences against two under-aged girls in the English town of Keighley and city of Bradford, West Yorkshire. In December 2015, they were found guilty of rape and other forms of sexual abuse by a unanimous jury verdict at Bradford Crown Court. They were sentenced in February 2016 to a total of 130 years in jail. The main victim, who had been targeted by ten of the men, was aged between 13 and 14 at the time of the attacks between 2011 and 2012. The alleged ringleader of the gang was named as local drug-dealer Ahmed Al-Arif Choudhury (also spelled Choudry), who was not among those found guilty in court and is believed to have fled abroad.
Two of the men who abused Girl N between 2004 and 2011. Akram had his prison sentence increased from 17 years to 22 years and his friend Khalid was locked up for five years. The pair's sentencing marked the end of the first phase of West Yorkshire Police's Operation Tendersea - a long-running and ongoing investigation into child sexual exploitation. Girl N was groomed at the age of 11 and passed around members of the gang, who even went so far as to abduct her from a care home.
The main victim was groomed with gifts and apparent displays of affection before being coerced into abusive sexual relationships. She was raped in various locations in Keighley, including parks, churchyards, and an underground car-park. The rapists had designated part of the car-park “X's corner” with graffiti and added their own names. During one sustained rape, she was attacked by five men in succession. In an interview with police, she said that Choudhury had employed her as a drugs-courier and that when she tried to stop working for him, he called her a “little white slag” and a “little white bastard”. He then physically restrained her and raped her, according to her testimony. One of those found guilty, a 63-year-old taxi driver called Mohammed Akram, had sex with one of the victims in his taxi.
- Khalid Raja Mahmood, 34, of Keighley: received a 17-year extended sentence for two charges of rape and three charges of sexual activity with a child.
- Tauqeer Hussain, 23, of Keighley: 18 years for two counts of rape against the first victim and one rape against another teenage girl.
- Yasser Kabir, 25, of Keighley: 20 years for three counts of rape against the first victim and four charges of rape, two charges of sexual assault, two charges of assault by penetration and four charges of causing a child to engage in sexual activity against two young girls.
- Sufyan Ziarab, 23, of Keighley: 15 years for two counts of rape.
- Bilal Ziarab, 21, of Bradford: 12 years for two counts of rape.
- Israr Ali, 19, of Keighley: three-and-half-years in a young offenders’ institution for one count of rape.

- Mohammed Akram, 63, of Keighley: five years for one count of sexual activity with a child.
Kris Hopkins, Conservative MP for Keighley, condemned what he called the “sick model of organised groups of Asian men grooming young white girls” and claimed that more women were still suffering abuse in the same way. In a statement issued by his office, he said the convictions were vindication of controversial comments he had made in parliament in 2012, when he said that organised groups of Asian men were raping white girls. He claimed to have been criticized for these claims.
Some defendants had previous convictions for drug-dealing, dangerous driving, assault, public disorder, stealing and handling stolen goods. Arif Chowdhury, the alleged ringleader of the gang, is believed to have travelled to Bangladesh to escape prosecution following his arrest and release on bail. He had begun pimping the girl in Keighley when he was only 15 and was described in court as an evil and violent individual who had first employed the girl as a drugs-courier before subjecting her to repeated rapes, beatings and racial abuse.
In Febuary a grooming gang that systematically raped a 14-year-old girl and 'robbed her of her childhood' in West Yorkshire was jailed. The woman was raped by multiple men in the Keighley area of West Yorkshire over a period between 2008 and 2009, when she was aged between 14 and 16. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said eight men were found guilty of 23 counts of rape and two of conspiracy to rape in two separate trials at Bradford Crown Court last year. The CPS said two were sentenced last year and four more were jailed on Friday.
Eight men were found guilty of 23 counts of rape and two of conspiracy to rape:
- Nazir Khan, 30, of Keighley, got 12 years and an extended eight-year licence period.
- Kamran Hussain, 29, of Keighley, got five year sentence.
- Hassan Basharat, 32, of Keighley, was given 12 years in jail.

- Barber Hussain, 36, of Bradford, was sentenced to 13 years.
- Imran Sabir, 42, of Keighley was given a 12 year sentence.
Two others are yet to be sentenced.
Prosecutors said the girl was driven to parks, flats and isolated places where she was raped by the men. In a statement issued through West Yorkshire Police on Friday, the woman said:
Ed Hulbert, from the CPS, said:
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Weekes said: 'I would like to take this opportunity to praise the victim for coming forward and reporting these offences to the police, for her patience whilst the criminal investigation has been ongoing and her courage in giving evidence in court. 'The abuse she endured robbed her of her childhood and I hope seeing all of these men sent to prison today for these horrendous offences she was subjected to will allow her to start to look forward to the future.'
