French police 'detain 80 men' in 'unprecedented' one-week crackdown on suspected child sex abusers, with a local councilor and two school teachers among those arrested
Swoop focused on professions where adults are in regular contact with children By ELENA SALVONI and AFP PUBLISHED: 18:04, 9 December 2023 | UPDATED: 18:05, 9 December 2023 French police have arrested around 80 suspected child sex abusers, including a local councillor and two schoolteachers, in what sources called an 'unprecedented' one-week crackdown. The swoop focused on professions where adults were in regular contact with children and was the country's most far-reaching swoop on suspected child sex abusers, police sources said. Arrests were made in 53 of France's 101 departments, according to Commissioner Quentin Bevan, who heads the operational unit of the Office for Minors within the judicial police, which coordinated the operation. The suspects were detained for a range of crimes, with around a dozen others suspected of raping or sexually abusing minors. The men arrested, whose ages range from around 30 to over 60, come from a wide range of backgrounds, from an elected official to a person on the dole. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...x-abusers.html |

Where the Rochdale grooming gang members are now 12 years on from their sentences: Two still in prison, two more fighting deportation and five freed to roam the streets
Qari Abdul Rauf and Adil Khan were jailed for their involvement in grooming They were ordered to be deported upon release, but have fought against it READ MORE: Rochdale grooming gangs are STILL preying on girls, report finds By JON BRADY PUBLISHED: 14:46, 16 January 2024 | UPDATED: 16:44, 16 January 2024 At least seven members of the first Rochdale grooming gang brought down for raping and trafficking young children across England are walking free on the streets today – after a new report warned that nearly 100 other abusers are escaping justice. In a case that shocked the nation, nine Asian men were convicted in 2012 of a range of sexual offences against children including rape, trafficking and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with children in and around Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Two members of the Rochdale grooming gang convicted of paedophilia offences are still waiting to be deported back to Pakistan – because their home country is refusing to take them back. Qari Abdul Rauf, 54 and Adil Khan, 53, were part of a group of Asian men who plied girls as young as 12 with alcohol and drugs before ferrying them around the north of England in taxis to be raped by other predators. Both have since been released, as have at least five others, one of whom was set to be returned to his home country upon release. The ringleader is still believed to be behind bars while another was due to conclude his sentence later this year. A new hard-hitting report released yesterday concluded that at least 96 men who pose a potential risk to children continue to roam the Greater Manchester area, but admits they are likely 'only a proportion of the individuals' committing sex abuse. Following on from a 2013 report that examined how abuse was allowed to continue for so long before any convictions were secured, the damning 173-page paper slammed police and council bosses for failing to act on early reports of grooming. A number of convictions have followed those of the 'original' Rochdale gang - the nine monsters who were sentenced in 2012 have been profiled below https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...sentences.html |

Half of Rotherham sex gang core members are already back on the streets despite being involved in the abuse and trafficking of up to 1,400 girls
At least 11 key members sentenced to over 180 years have been quietly released By ANDY GARDNER PUBLISHED: 19:42, 29 January 2024 | UPDATED: 19:42, 29 January 2024 At least 11 key members of Rotherham sex grooming gangs sentenced to over 180 years in jail have been quietly released after serving half their sentences or will be released on parole in the next few weeks. A MailOnline investigation has revealed that 11 out of 22 core members of linked Rotherham sex gangs are back on the streets despite being involved in the abuse and trafficking of up to 1,400 girls. A twelfth member, Zalgai Ahmadi, now 51, was told on Friday 26th January, 2024, that the Parole Board had recommended his release. He was serving a nine-and-a-half year sentence for being part of a gang that held a 14-year-old girl in his flat against her will. The panel ruled that the abuser, convicted of conspiracy to commit sexual assault and false imprisonment and jailed at Sheffield Crown Court in May 2017, was no longer a threat to the public. The Secretary of State for Justice has 28 days to ask the Parole Board to reconsider its judgement. It does not have the power to overturn the decision. A spokesperson for the Parole Board said: 'We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board has directed the release of Zalgai Ahmadi following an oral hearing. A MailOnline investigation has revealed that 11 out of 22 core members of linked Rotherham sex gangs are back on the streets despite being involved in the abuse and trafficking of up to 1,400 girls.

'Members read and digest hundreds of pages of evidence and reports in the lead up to an oral hearing. 'Evidence from witnesses such as probation officers, psychiatrists and psychologists, officials supervising the offender in prison as well as victim personal statements may be given at the hearing. 'It is standard for the prisoner and witnesses to be questioned at length during the hearing which often lasts a full day or more. 'Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority.' In further developments, three more members of a grooming ring sentenced on charges including rape and having sexual intercourse with a girl under 13 years old have been referred to the Parole Board for appeals. The hearings for Nasar Dad, Matloob Hussain and Mohammed Sadiq, who were jailed for a total of over 40-years in February 2017, will be heard in months and they could be freed by the early summer. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...400-girls.html |

Newcastle grooming gang jailed for raping 13-year-old girl
1 March 2024 Mugshots of Omar and Mohamed Badreddin IMAGE SOURCE,NORTHUMBRIA POLICE Image caption, Syrian brothers Omar and Mohamed Badreddin led the gang A gang who groomed and raped a 13-year-old girl, using threats to kill and kidnap, have been handed jail terms. The four attackers were aged between 15 and 21 when they abused the victim between August 2018 and April 2019, Newcastle Crown Court heard. The girl said they "tortured" her, making childhood a "living nightmare". Brothers Omar and Mohamed Badreddin and Huzaefa Aleboud were found guilty of multiple rapes. Hamoud Al Soaimi was found guilty of sexual assault. 'Aggressive and rough' Judge Amanda Rippon said the girl was already "extremely vulnerable" when she met the "far more sophisticated" males in Newcastle. She was repeatedly abused near the castle in Newcastle city centre and behind a burger restaurant after being "groomed" with alcohol and cigarettes, the court heard. Mohamed Badreddin, then aged 17, was "aggressive and rough" with her and threatened that his brother Omar, then aged 20, would "hurt her if she didn't do stuff with him", prosecutor Anne Richardson said. The girl was also raped at her own home with the brothers, who moved to the UK as refugees from the war in Syria, telling her she would be killed or taken to another country, Ms Richardson said. The court heard she was raped by Omar Badreddin on at least seven occasions, the first time immediately after his brother had raped her. Mugshot of Huzaefa Aleboud IMAGE SOURCE,NORTHUMBRIA POLICE Image caption, Huzaefa Aleboud was jailed for five and a half years Ms Richardson said Aleboud, then aged 17 and also a refugee from Syria, "badgered" the girl to have sexual contact with him by saying she had "let" the Badreddin brothers do it, with there then being "ongoing and regular" rapes. Al Soaimi, who was 15 at the time and from Kuwait, was heard by a passing witness saying it was his "turn" with the girl after she had been raped. He also sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl, the court heard, with Judge Rippon saying he was copying the behaviour of Badreddin brothers whose "swagger" he "foolishly held in high regard". 'Petrified' In a statement read to the court, the 13-year-old victim, now aged 19, said: "My childhood turned into what I can only describe as a living nightmare." She said she dropped out of school and turned to drugs and self-harming to "cope" with the trauma, adding her family had also been devastated by what happened. The girl said she was "petrified" of the men who had "tortured" her and "hurt [her] in so many ways", adding the experience and impact had been "horrific". In mitigation for Mohamed Badreddin, Sue Hirst said he had grown up in a warzone in Syria. Glenn Gatland, for Omar Badreddin, said he had been "haunted" by his experiences in Syria, having lost an older brother in the conflict, and felt "deep shame and guilt" for being in prison. Robin Patton, for Aleboud, of Tilmouth Park Road in Throckley, said he had been "physically puny" after undergoing treatment for a recurring childhood cancer and had not been a leader of the group. In mitigation for Al Soaimi, Joe Hedworth said his family moved to the UK from Kuwait in 2016, adding he was "immature and easily led". 'There to be used' Judge Rippon said the Badreddin brothers, of Middle Garth in Newcastle, led the group and "quickly identified" the girl could be "manipulated" and "groomed". She said they treated her like a "toy" and found it "entertaining", exploiting her and using her for sex. "Even when she begged you to treat her more kindly and told you truthfully she was harming herself and could not cope, you made fun of her," Judge Rippon told the brothers. Mugshot of Hamoud Al Soaimi IMAGE SOURCE,NORTHUMBRIA POLICE Image caption, Hamoud Al Soaimi was 15 at the time of the attacks on the girl The judge said the other defendants were "followers" of the brothers and learned from them that "local girls were there to be used and played with". She said she accepted the girl had told them she was 15 when she was actually 13, but the "reality" was "none of you cared how old she was". The girl tried to learn their language and started reading the Quran in an attempt to befriend the men, and in return she was "abused and passed around", the judge said. The men, the first three of whom must sign the sexual offenders' register for life and Al Soaimi for 10 years, received the following sentences: Omar Badreddin, 26, for five counts of rape, jailed for 18 years Mohamed Badreddin, 23, for six counts of rape and one count of assault by penetration, jailed for 13 years Huzaefa Aleboud, 23, for assault by penetration, two counts of rape and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, jailed for five and a half years Hamoud Al Soaimi, 21, for three counts of sexual assault and one assault by penetration, jailed for two years suspended for two years with 180 hours unpaid work The Badreddin brothers' sentences also included a year in jail each for violent disorder after they threw bottles and charged at police when a Black Lives Matter group clashed with North East Frontline Patriots in Newcastle city centre on 13 June 2020. A restraining order was also made banning each defendant from contacting the two victims and several other girls, or referring to them on social media. In 2015 and 2016, Newsnight followed the story of the Badreddin family, who were Syrian refugees who had settled in the UK. During the year, their son Omar was tried for sexual assault and found not guilty. Two years afterwards, in 2018 and 2019, Omar Badreddin and his brother Mohamed committed multiple counts of rape. They were found guilty and were jailed on 1 March 2024. The BBC reported this. In any situation, the BBC can only report on the facts as they stand at the time, which is what we did in this case. The Badreddins' subsequent crimes are appalling, and we express our sincere sympathies to their victim. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-68446855.amp |

One of two brothers who led the UK's most notorious sex grooming gang that targeted girls as young as 13 hopes to be freed after less than 12-years in jail
Mubarek Ali and his brother Ahdel 'Eddie' Ali led the gang of seven men By ANDY GARDNER PUBLISHED: 21:39, 15 March 2024 | UPDATED: 21:40, 15 March 2024 One of two brothers who led the UK's most notorious sex grooming gang that targeted girls as young as 13 has a parole hearing and hopes to be freed after less than 12-years in jail. Mubarek Ali, then 29 and his brother Ahdel 'Eddie' Ali, 24, led the gang of seven men, which operated in Telford, Shropshire, that preyed on 100 young girls between 2006 and 2009. The town was a hub of abuse which saw up to 1,000 girls, some as young as 11, fall victim to sex gangs over a four-decade period. Over a three-year period, the Ali brothers' gang targeted schoolgirls who they controlled as child prostitutes by giving them alcohol, food and money. The Ali brothers were found guilty in 2012 of numerous offences against four girls aged from 13 to 17, including rape, sexual activity with a child, inciting and controlling child prostitution and trafficking children for sex. Mubarek Ali was jailed for 14 years and Ahdel Ali was sentenced to an 18-year jail term after a eight week trial at Stafford Crown Court. Mubarek was released automatically part way through his sentence in 2017, but was sent back to prison just under a year later after breaking his licence conditions. His brother Ahdel was first released in late 2020 when halfway through his 18-year jail term. But he was recalled to jail just seven months later for breaching his licence conditions, believed to be around the use of a mobile phone. MailOnline can reveal that Ahdel, now aged 35, had a parole hearing in December 2023 based on prison documents and the decision was to keep him in jail. He will be eligible for another appeal in two-years time. In respect of Mubarek, now 40, his new appeal will be his third since being recalled. The panel at his second in May 2022 found it 'could find no evidence to suggest that his level of risk towards others had reduced.

A spokesperson for the Parole Board said: 'We can confirm the parole review of Mubarek Ali has been referred to the Parole Board by the Secretary of State for Justice and is following standard processes. 'Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community. 'A panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behaviour change, as well as explore the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims.

'It is standard for the prisoner and witnesses to be questioned at length during the hearing which often lasts a full day or more. Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority.' During the brothers' trial the court heard that the two men systematically groomed young girls in such a way that eventually they could exploit them sexually for their own gain and gratification. The Ali brothers, both of Wellington, Telford, denied a total of 24 offences alleged to have been committed against four girls between March 2008 and December 2009. The court was told that the men, who were married, had described their victims as 'w****s', 's***s' and 's**ts'.

Pictured: Ahdel Ali (left) and Mubarek Ali (right) Speaking after seeing the men sentenced, detective chief inspector Neil Jamieson, senior investigating officer for West Mercia Police said: 'We are satisfied with the sentences handed down at court today and are pleased these two men will now serve significant custodial sentences. 'This is one of a number of high profile trials which have taken place recently across the UK and we are satisfied with the convictions in this case. 'Ahdel Ali and Mubarek Ali targeted these girls because of their vulnerability and then systematically groomed them in such a way that eventually they could exploit them sexually for their own gain and gratification.' Five other men from the Telford area pleaded guilty to charges they faced prior to the start of their trials and were jailed for between two-and-a-half and seven years. The operation to snare the sex abusers, 'Operation Chalice', was one of the largest in West Mercia Police history. A team of up to 50 officers worked on the inquiry to bring the men to justice. In 2018, one of the victims of abusers in Telford spoke anonymously on Good Morning Britain to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid about their ordeal. Telford has the third highest number of child sexual offences recorded in the UK, just behind Blackpool and Rotherham, according to the Home Office. The woman, going by the name of 'Holly', described how she was sold 'countless times' for sex. She said: 'I was abused from the ages of 14-18, my abuse started with boys my own age, who went on to sell my phone number to older men. 'And from there it was just a whirlwind of rape every day basically. I was going into the doctors and the youth sexual health clinic to get the morning after pill, probably twice a week, and nobody even questioned anything. 'I had two abortions, still nothing was said to me. I was in cars that were stopped by the police and they asked me no questions of why I was there with a much older man... it got to the point where I tried to commit suicide, and still nobody asked me any questions about what was going on in my life and why I was reacting the way I was reacting.' Holly added: 'The way I got out of it was by actually leaving Telford and isolating myself from my friends and family and everybody else that I knew. 'The reason why it went on for so long was because the men were blackmailing me saying that they were going to rape my family members or burn my house down.' Asked by Susanna Reid how many men she thinks were responsible for the abuse she suffered, 'Holly' said: 'I couldn't even put a figure on it, it's that many. The operation to snare the sex abusers, 'Operation Chalice', was one of the largest in West Mercia Police history The operation to snare the sex abusers, 'Operation Chalice', was one of the largest in West Mercia Police history 'The main abusers, I'd say seven, but I was being sold every day, countless times, for four years.' The authority in charge of the town, Telford and Wrekin Council, acted on just half of the warnings they received, it emerged at the time 'Holly' spoke out. They were given 715 child sexual exploitation referrals in three years, but just 324 of the cases were referred. Authorities had been warned of abuse a decade before Operation Chalice. But authorities were warned of the abuse a decade before Operation Chalice. Only 303 were passed to its Children Abused Through Exploitation team, according to the figures released under freedom of information laws. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...pes-freed.html |
