Eight men have been jailed for their involvement in a West Yorkshire grooming gang that targeted young girls in the late 1990s. Three men were sentenced for rape at Bradford Crown Court on Friday, while five others were jailed last year. The case involved a young girl who was aged between 13 and 14 at the time of the offences. She said she was 'groomed', then 'passed on to other men', and later became addicted to alcohol and drugs. The judge criticized the police and social services for failing to adequately respond to the girl's mother's reports.
A group of eight men who were part of a West Yorkshire grooming gang in the late 1990s have been jailed.
"I went through too much, too young, and I'm still trying to fix the trauma that other people have inflicted on me." She said she was "groomed", then "passed on to other men", and later became addicted to alcohol and drugs, which she used as a "coping mechanism". Mitigating, Jayne Beckett said Hussain, who later served time in jail for drug offences, was now married with children and was a "very, very, very different man" who was involved with his local mosque and school.
Fayaz Ahmed, formerly of Devonshire Street, was jailed for seven-and-a-half years in his absence for two counts of rape. Fayaz Ahmed, who sacked his lawyers before absconding, travelled with the girl and another man to either a "school ground or some woods", where they raped her in turn.
