- Huddersfield grooming: ‘Predatory men’ jailed for rape – BBC News
“Every child in West Yorkshire deserves to grow up free from harm and protecting our most vulnerable is a key priority.
“If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, please report it to the police. You will be believed, and support is available.”
Better Late Than Never.
A grooming gang has been jailed for sexually exploiting young girls “for their own perverted gratification”.
The “predatory men” targeted two girls in the Huddersfield area, creating a relationship of trust that allowed them to “perpetrate gross sexual abuse”.
The girls were controlled by violence and threats against them and their families, Leeds Crown Court was told.
Usman Ali, Banaras Hussain, Abdul Majid and Gul Riaz and two other men had previously been found guilty of rape.
Judge Geoffrey Marson QC said: “The way these girls were treated defies understanding. The abuse was vile and wicked.
“It is clear that both have been and remain profoundly affected by the abuse which ended some years ago.”
The girls were groomed from the age of 13 and 14 with the offending starting in 1995 and taking place over a period of more than 10 years.
Judge Marson said the grooming of the girls was “insidious and persistent” and described the abuse as “disgusting and degrading”.
He said one of the victims would go missing, returning home “heavily under the influence of alcohol or drugs”, sometimes naked on her lower half and with injuries.
She was raped by Ali in his car, who was “rough and aggressive” and left her in tears.
Majid raped her numerous times, often threatening to not take her home unless she had sex with him.
‘Disbelieved’
The judge said the second victim was regularly plied with drugs and alcohol “in order to facilitate the gross sexual abuse by the older men”.
She was indecently assaulted and raped by Riaz, who plied her with vodka at her father’s flat.
Prosecutor Andrea Parnham read victim impact statements to the court.
She said one victim had tried to report the abuse to police in 1997 but was “disbelieved and felt let down by them”.
The other victim, Ms Parnham said, had her childhood “taken away from her”.
Banaras Hussain, aged 39, residing on Scarborough Road, Shipley, has been convicted of one count of rape and sentenced to nine and a half years in prison. His actions were part of a grooming gang that exploited young girls for their own perverted gratification. These predatory men targeted two girls in the Huddersfield area, establishing a relationship of trust to perpetrate gross sexual abuse. The victims were controlled through violence and threats against them and their families. The abuse began when the girls were just 13 and 14 years old, spanning over a period of more than 10 years.
The details of Banaras Hussain’s crimes are deeply disturbing:
One of the victims would go missing and return home under the influence of alcohol or drugs, sometimes naked and injured. She was raped by one of the perpetrators, leaving her in tears.
The second victim was regularly given drugs and alcohol to facilitate sexual abuse by the older men. She was indecently assaulted and raped.
