Monday, 7 November 2016 14:37

Eight men have been jailed for a combined total of 96 years for the sexual exploitation of three young girls in Rotherham between 1999 and 2003.

Appearing at Sheffield Crown Court to receive their sentences were:

· Sageer Hussain, 30, of Tanglewoods, Goole – 19 years in prison

· Mohammed Whied, 32, of Psalters Lane, Kimberworth – 5 years in prison

· Ishtiaq Khaliq, 33, of Carlisle Street, Rotherham – 17 years in prison

· Waleed Ali, 34, of Canklow Road, Rotherham – 13 years in prison

· Asif Ali, 30, of Clough Street, Rotherham – 12 years in prison

· Masoued Malik, 32, of Bridgewater Way, Rotherham – 15 years in prison

· Naeem Rafiq, 33, of Upper Clara Street, Bradgate – 8 years in prison

Also in court was Basharat Hussain, 40, who is currently on remand at HMP Wakefield serving a prison sentence. Hussain was given an additional 7 years to run alongside his current sentence.

Detective Chief Inspector Martin Tate, Senior Investigating Officer, said: “The rape and sexual abuse of children is completely abhorrent and this group have shown no remorse for their crimes, forcing the young women who came forward to report this awful abuse to relive traumatic experiences before the court.”

“These dangerous sexual offenders are now behind bars where they can cause no further harm, thanks in large part to the victims’ trust and confidence in our investigation.”
