Three men described as “Asian” have been sentenced to a total of 49 years for multiple rapes, indecent assaults, and drug dealing offences in Oxford, England. The group of men implicated as part of a grooming gang were 41-year-old Naim Khan, 44-year-old Mohammed Nazir, and 42-year-old Raheem Ahmed.
Mr Khan was found guilty of seven counts of rape; four counts of indecent assault; one count of procuring a man to rape a victim; two counts of procuring men to indecently assault a victim; supplying class B drugs on at least 12 occasions as well as one count of indecent assault. Mr Nazir was found guilty of six counts of rape; five counts of indecent assault ; one count of procuring a man to rape the victim; three counts of procuring men to indecently assault the victim and the supply of count of supplying class B drugs on at least 10 occasions. Mr Ahmed was found guilty of two counts of indecent assault and the supply of class B drugs on at least 10 occasions.
The trio have been “jailed for a total of 49 years”, with Khan, Nazir, and Ahmed receiving terms of 24 years, 20 years, and five years. However, this could be misleading. In the British criminal justice system those criminals who are handed multiple sentences are generally told they will serve them concurrently. This renders all but the longest sentence effectively meaningless. Whilst the terms are currently not certain, in a similar case, the Telford rape gang ringleader Mubarek Ali was released less than five years into a supposed 22-year sentence.
In one of the victims impact statements it is stated that one of the offenders “began to pimp her out to other Asian males, made her sexually available to other men in return for payment. My life has been destroyed. I cannot form loving or lasting relationships with men. I have not been able to care for my children as a mother should be able to”. UNN will be continuing to monitor this developing story and we will bring you more as we get it.
