Car salesman Qamar Malik, 28, was also convicted by a jury yesterday of twice attempting to abduct a girl aged 12 in daylight.

When he was 16, Malik sexually assaulted three girls he met by chance in the street, dragging one down a snicket to molest her, the jury was told during the trial at Bradford Crown Court.

Malik, of Parsonage Road, West Bowling, Bradford, was yesterday remanded back into custody to await sentence by Judge Peter Benson who said it was “a very disturbing case” with “a big background”.

He warned Malik to expect a substantial prison sentence when he is brought back to court on January 15.

Judge Benson adjourned the case for the preparation of a report from the probation service that will assess the level of danger Malik poses to members of the public.

The judge told him: “You have a history of assaulting girls who are strangers in the street and I need the probation service to prepare a report to assess the level of risk you present.”

Malik, wearing a blue sports shirt, sat in the dock with his head bowed after the verdicts were delivered.

He was unanimously convicted of twice trying to abduct a 12-year-old girl from central Bradford in July.

The jury found him guilty by 11 to one majority verdicts of kidnapping the six-year-old girl on August 13 this year by unlawfully, and by force or fraud, taking or carrying her away and of sexual activity with the child by touching her chest and waist.

Both the girls were strangers to Malik, the court was told.

Prosecutor Rupert Doswell said Malik stopped his car near the 12-year-old girl, told her she was cute and asked her to sit in the vehicle.

Days later, he followed her in a car, beckoned her over and asked for her phone number.

The girl ran off and sought help from a woman passer-by outside the mosque on Newman Street, Bradford.

Weeks later, he pulled the six-year-old girl into a car, drove her around and molested her.

When Malik was 16, he dragged a 15-year-old girl into a snicket when she was on her paper round and indecently assaulted her.

In a second incident, he jumped on a girl walking to school in Manchester Road, knocked her down and sexually attacked her.

The third offence was on a woman over 16 who was grabbed from behind and groped The jury was told that Malik was warned by the police on August 3 this year that complaints had been made about him stopping his black Ford Focus next to young girls and telling them they were beautiful.

The ringleader of a gang of men in Rochdale that groomed young white girls for sex has been given a 22-year prison sentence after he was convicted of 30 child rapes in a separate case involving a young Asian girl.

guardian.co.uk, Thursday 2 August 2012 12.11 BST

Shabir Ahmed, 59, of Oldham, Greater Manchester was one of nine men convicted of sex offences against children at Liverpool crown court in May. He was jailed for 19 years but could not be identified at the time because of the pending trial.

Ahmed was convicted in June at Manchester’s Minshull Street crown court of raping and sexually abusing an Asian girl for more than a decade. On Thursday he was given a 22-year sentence for abusing his victim. Judge Khokhar told him the sentence will run concurrently with the earlier one.

The court heard that he raped and sexually abused a young Asian girl repeatedly over many years and treated her as a possession for his own sexual gratification. Ahmed, a former takeaway driver, smirked as the jury returned the unanimous verdicts.

During the earlier trial in Liverpool it emerged that Ahmed was known to his victims by the nickname Daddy. Judge Gerald Clifton, who sentenced Ahmed in Liverpool, said the gang treated their victims “as though they were worthless and beyond any respect”.

Ahmed and the other men were convicted of conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with children under 16. In May, he was also convicted of two counts of rape, aiding and abetting a rape, sexual assault and a count of trafficking within the UK for sexual exploitation.

He was banned from the courtroom in Liverpool for his sentencing hearing because of his threatening behaviour and for calling Clifton a “racist bastard”. The judge called the defendant an “unpleasant and hypocritical bully”.

In June, reporting restrictions were lifted after he was convicted of 30 charges of rape by a jury. The court heard that Ahmed was violent and dominated his victim.

Rachel Smith, opening the case for the prosecution, said Ahmed repeatedly, over a period of more than a decade, raped the victim. She said: “She tried to make him stop, but it was to no avail.” She said the victim was eventually forced to submit to him and the abuse happened almost every week. “The defendant was a violent and controlling man,” said Smith.

She added: “The defendant treated [her] as some sort of possession to be used for his own sexual gratification, as and when he chose.”

The jury was told that the victim felt a sense of shame about what happened to her, which stopped her reporting it to the police for many years. “The reality of what he had done to her was never far from her thoughts … she describes having dreams about it,” Smith added.

The court heard that because of the abuse the victim “rejected the idea of ever marrying or having a sexual relationship with a man of her choosing”.

Rochdale gang jailed for total of 77 years for sexually exploiting young girls

Nine men have received heavy jail sentences at Liverpool crown court for their part in a child sexual exploitation gang that groomed young vulnerable girls in Rochdale.

The Guardian, Wednesday 9 May 2012 18.14 BST

The trial, which ended on Tuesday, heard the five victims – the youngest was 13 when the abuse began – were plied with food, alcohol, drugs and gifts so they could be passed around a group of men for sex.

The nine defendants were jailed for a total of 77 years, with the ringleader, a 59-year-old man from Oldham, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, receiving a 19-year term after being convicted of two rapes, aiding and abetting rape, sexual assault and trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation.

Kabeer Hassan, 25, of Oldham, was jailed for nine years for rape and three years, concurrently, for conspiracy. Hamid Safi, 22, an illegal immigrant of no fixed address, was jailed for four years for conspiracy and one year, concurrently, for trafficking.

The other men all came from Rochdale. Abdul Qayyum, 44, was jailed for five years for conspiracy. Mohammed Amin, 45, was sentenced to five years for conspiracy and 12 months, concurrently, for sexual assault. Adil Khan, 42, was given eight years for conspiracy and eight 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, concurrently, for sexual activity with a child. Abdul Rauf, 43, a married father-of-five, was jailed for six years for conspiracy and six years, concurrently, for trafficking for sexual exploitation. Abdul Aziz, 41, a taxi driver, was sentenced to nine years for conspiracy and nine years, concurrently, for trafficking for sexual exploitation.

Before the sentencing, Martin Narey, former Barnardo’s chief executive and government adviser on adoption, said in northern cities there is a “very significant over-representation of Asian men, Pakistani men, in these terrible crimes”, although he added child abuse in general is perpetrated mostly by white men.

“For this particular sort of crime, the street grooming – the trafficking of girls in northern towns in Derby, Leeds, Blackpool, Blackburn, Oldham and Rochdale – there’s very troubling evidence that Asians are overwhelmingly represented in prosecutions for such offences,” he told the BBC Radio 4′s Today pProgramme.

“That’s not to condemn a whole community; most Asians would absolutely abhor what we’ve seen in the last few days.

But Keith Vaz, chairman of the home affairs select committee, said the criminal justice system should not “dance to the tune of the BNP”.

“I do not believe it’s a race issue. Why do I believe this? The assistant chief constable [of Greater Manchester police] has said so, and so has the deputy children‘s commissioner. We need to have a proper far-reaching investigation into these crimes.

“There’s a lot of questions about how organisations have cared for them. We do need to look into this. … It’s quite wrong to stigmatise a whole community.”

Greater Manchester police said further arrests could be made following the trial.

Greater Manchester Police said that further arrests could be made following the trial. One man, Mohammed Shazad, 39, from Rochdale. is wanted by police after he absconded while on bail. Its investigation identified a further 42 potential victims of on-street grooming.The force has faced criticism for its handling of the original investigation in 2008, when a 15-year-old girl complained she’d been attacked and groomed. The force has apologised to the victims after the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to pursue charges against the 59-year-old man and Kabeer Hassan, and the matter has been voluntarily referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is supervising Greater Manchester police’s inquiry.

The Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre said child exploitation spans all cultures and ethnicities. “These cases do highlight that Asian males have been involved in an organised manner in exploiting young women,” a spokesperson said, but some of the cases involve offenders from different backgrounds as well.

Detective Inspector Michael Sanderson, senior investigating officer in the case, said the defendants had never shown the slightest bit of remorse and forced the victims to re-live their horrific ordeals. He vowed the force would “hunt down and prosecute” anyone involved in the sexual exploitation of children.
