He said: ‘You’re all to be sentenced, all of you, for offences against a young vulnerable child.

‘She was only 13 or 14 when the 12 of you took such terrible and heartless sexual advantage of her.’

Judge Roger Thomas QC

In 2016 TWELVE Pakistani and Bangladeshi men with mostly Keighley Heritage where convicted by being a Asian sex gang abusing the same little underaged white girl over different time events Khalid Raja Mahmood was one of them.

Khalid Raja Mahmood, 34, of no fixed address, was given a 17-year extended sentence for rape and sexual activity with a child for the rape of a small white girl. By the time the trial started last year, Mahmood was already serving an eight-year sentence for the rape of a 43-year-old woman in Cliffe Castle Park, as well as the attempted false imprisonment of a child he had tried to snatch off the street.

Khalid Mahmood, 34, pleaded guilty on the day the trial was due to start to five counts of raping the main victim in the woods at Cliffe Castle Park in Keighley and various other public places. She was 13 or 14 at the time and he was around 30. Khalid Mahmood admitted he knew her age because she was in the same class as his nephew and he had seen her in her school uniform. He would ply the girl with alcohol, cigarettes and marijuana before abusing her, the court heard on Friday.

The court was told that the father of three has a long history of being a sex offender, having been first convicted of indecent assault in 1998, when he was just 16 a late starter for some rapists and spending time in a young offender institute the following year for a similar crime, this detention did nothing. He also has convictions for kerb crawling. Ruling him to be “dangerous” within the meaning of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, the judge gave Khalid Mahmood an extended sentence comprising a custodial term of 13 and a half years and an extended licence period of three and a half years and ordered to serve two-thirds of the custodial term in custody.

Due for Release: 2033 or sooner!
