Man Sentenced To 3 Years For Sexual Offences Involving A Child

Monday, 9 May 2016 09:46

A man has been sentenced after pleading guilty to engaging in sexual activity with a child and child abduction offences in Rochdale.

Irfan Mohammed Fiaz of Salik Gardens, Rochdale has been sentenced at Minshull Street Crown Court, to three years in a young offenders institute and ordered to sign the sex offenders register indefinitely.

At an earlier hearing Mr Fiaz pleaded guilty to two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child and taking a child so as to remove them from a person having lawful control.

Between 5 October 2015 and 14 October 2015, on three separate occasions a 14-year-old girl was reported missing from her home overnight in Rochdale.

On each occasion, 20-year-old Fiaz met with the girl and took her to his home address. Whilst inside the address he sexually abused her.

Due to concerns raised by a member of the public whilst she was missing, officers who were looking for the girl found her with the Fiaz at his address.

During his police interview, Fiaz showed no remorse and blamed the child for the incident throughout.

Detective Constable Ben Harris of the Rochdale Sunrise Team said: “Fiaz is a predator who preyed on a vulnerable 14-year-old girl in a typical example of the boyfriend model of child sexual exploitation.

“He made her feel as though they were in a grown up relationship and encouraged her to stay over at his home address away from her parents, where he then exploited her. The fact he felt it was the child’s fault is disturbing and his lack of remorse is reflected in the sentence.
