UK: Pakistani Muslim paedophile sex offenders who targeted Huddersfield kids as part of ‘grooming gang’ jailed for over 500 years

PAKISTANI MUSLIM sex offenders who have been convicted in a major investigation into child abuse in Huddersfieldhave been jailed for a total of over 500 years.

Examiner Live (h/t Marvin W)  Five men – who were previously jailed in earlier Operation Tendersea trial – were convicted in February and jailed at Bradford Crown Court on Thursday for a total of 28 years. The trial had been delayed from 2020 but took place over the first two months of this year.

Mohammed Kammer, 38, Nahman Mohammed, 37, Wiqas Mahmud, 42, and Mohammed Imran Ibrar, 38, all from Huddersfield, were convicted alongside Abdul Rehman, 36, from Sheffield, after pleading not guilty to a catalogue of sickening sex offences.

They were all found guilty of carrying out or facilitating the sexual abuse of a young girl in the Huddersfield area between 2005 and 2020. The abuse started when the girl was just 14-years-old.

Trials in relation to the operation have resulted in the conviction of 42 men – some who have faced more than one trial. April’s convictions mean a total of 505 years and six months has been handed to those convicted.

Rehman was sentenced to three years and nine months after being convicted of two offences of engaging in or facilitating a child sex offence and supplying drugs. Kammer was jailed for seven years and six months after being found guilty of three counts of rape and a trafficking for sexual exploitation offence.

Mohammed was jailed for seven years after being convicted of two rape offences and trafficking for sexual exploitation. Mahmud was jailed for six years and three months after being convicted of rape and Ibrar was jailed for five years – minus time spent on remand – after being convicted of sexual assault and rape. The time he had spent on remand was three years and six months.

DCI Ian Thornes of Kirklees Police, said: “Operation Tendersea has been a major investigation into what has been truly evil sexual abuse committed against young females in the Huddersfield area.

“The fact that the courts have now given more than a combined 500 years in prison to the men who committed these offences speaks volumes about their sheer depravity. In case after case we have heard how those involved regarded their victims as objects to be used and then trivially discarded with no regard whatsoever to their welfare.

“These were vulnerable young teenage girls who endured utterly sickening offences committed by persons who demonstrated standards of behaviour which means they are not fit to walk the streets.”

He added: “Police and partners have worked hard to deliver justice for these women over several years, but this long journey could never have begun without them having the courage to come forwards and report these offences.

“Their determination has resulted in sex offenders who considered themselves above the law now finding themselves judged by it, and spending many years behind bars. I want to thank them for their determination in supporting these prosecutions and empowering the police, CPS and partners to act.

“Officers who have worked on this complex investigation have deep admiration for the bravery they have shown.”

racy Brabin, The Mayor of West Yorkshire, said: “We are absolutely committed to preventing these heinous crimes and ensuring those that commit them are brought to justice.

“Every child in West Yorkshire deserves to grow up free from harm and protecting our most vulnerable is a key priority.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman said “British Pakistani men are members of grooming gangs who are involved in pursuing, raping, drugging and harming vulnerable English girls”. Her comments regarding the representation of British Pakistani men in grooming gangs have triggered controversy.
