A Pakistani pervert has been jailed after he ‘pinned down’ and sexually assaulted a girl.
Saqib Hussain, 36, also reached down the top of his victim during a second incident. Both offences took place at a property in Manchester in March 2023.
Hussain has now been jailed for three years and nine months following a sentencing at Manchester Crown Square Court on January 16.
PC Alisha Blackburn, of GMP’s Child Protection Investigation Unit, called Hussain an ‘abhorrent offender’ and thanked the victim for her strength.
She said: “I hope this sentencing can provide some relief for the victims and their families that this abhorrent offender is behind bars and away from harming vulnerable children.
“With the help of colleagues in the Metropolitan Police, they were promptly able to arrest Hussain on suspicion of sexual assault by touching on a female child under 13 and assault.
“I must thank the victim and their family for having the strength and courage to come forward and allow us to fully investigate this case.
“We encourage anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault, or knows someone who has, to come forward and speak to the police. We will listen to you and we will investigate.”
