Gang gets total of 106 years in prison for ‘horrific’ child sex crimes – New English Review

The men were all convicted in June after a nine-week trial at Sheffield Crown Court, the result of an investigation by the National Crime Agency’s Operation Stovewood.

The men who received prison sentences are:

• Tahir Yasin, 38, of Burngreave Street, Sheffield – jailed for 13 years for eight cases of rape.
• Ramin Bari, 38, of Derby Street, Sheffield – jailed for nine years for four cases of rape.
• Mohammed Amar, 43, of Elizabeth Way, Rotherham – jailed for 14 years plus two years of driving license for two counts of sexual assault on an 11-year-old girl. Amar was found not guilty of one count of sexual assault.
• Yasser Ajaibe, 39, of Walter Street, Rotherham – jailed for 6 years plus one year license for indecent assault on an 11-year-old girl.
• Mohammed Zameer Sadiq, 49; of Richard Road, Rotherham – jailed for 15 years plus one year license for rape and sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 13.
• Mohammed Siyab, 45, of Stevenson Drive, Rotherham – jailed for 25 years for sexual intercourse with a girl under 13; two counts of rape; and trafficking within the United Kingdom for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
• Abid Saddiq, 43, formerly of Rotherham – jailed for 24 years plus one year of driving license for sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl; rape of a girl under 13; and two counts of rape.

The victims, who were institutionalised in the early 2000s and were aged between 11 and 16 at the time of the offences, were manipulated and often provided with alcohol or cannabis before being raped or abused.

Other cases, in other courts, continue. Not all reach the local newspaper, let alone the BBC.
