All three men will be sentenced tomorrow, with ‘Muddy’ and ‘Kammy’ being sentenced in their absence.
Philip Marshall, head of Operation Stovewood, the NCA’s investigation into historic abuse in Rotherham said: “The victim has shown tremendous courage in reporting the predatory grooming, exploitation and sustained sexual abuse these men subjected her to as a child.
“Reliving sexual abuse can be distressing; however, the victim’s account, supported by our corroborating evidence, has led to her three abusers being convicted.
“I would like to recognise the continued bravery of the victim, who has already endured so much and who continues to be supported by specially trained officers. Our focus remains on securing justice for the victim and ensuring that Khan and Hussain are held fully accountable for their actions.”
Melissa Garner, Specialist Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “Mudasar Hussain and Kamir Khan separately groomed a young and vulnerable girl with alcohol, drugs and gifts. They raped her multiple times between 2008 and 2010 at various locations around Rotherham. Ghazanfar Hussain was quick to take advantage of the vulnerable victim when the opportunity presented itself. Their abuse has caused the victim serious and lifelong harm.
“These defendants have now been convicted of their horrific and appalling crimes. I want to recognise the victim for her strength throughout this case. Her determination in seeing this case through has been crucial in bringing these offenders to justice.
“The CPS will continue to work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to pursue perpetrators of child sexual abuse and secure justice for victims, no matter how many years have passed.”
