The National Crime Agency (NCA) is appealing to the public for information as two Rotherham grooming gang members remain on the run after being convicted of raping a schoolgirl.
Mudasar Hussain, 37, of Rotherham was found guilty in his absence of 12 counts of raping the girl, who was around 14 years old at the time.
Kamir Khan, 37, of Rotherham was also found guilty in his absence of two counts of rape and one count of trafficking for sexual exploitation, after he arranged for another man to have sex with the girl.
Mudasar’s brother Ghazanfar Hussain, 42, of Rotherham – also convicted of raping the girl – has been remanded in custody ahead of sentencing.
Officers working to locate Hussain and Khan have pursued numerous lines of enquiry and are now appealing to the public for any information that could assist their investigation.
Mudasar was on conditional bail while awaiting trial and had surrendered his passport to the NCA as one of those conditions.
