Jailed leader of grooming ring that preyed on 100 girls loses his bid for parole

From The Sun

Ahdel “Eddie” Ali headed a sex gang that forced its victims into prostitution — with some as young as 13.

Ali, now 38, was jailed for 26 years in 2012.

He was freed on licence in 2020 after serving eight years but was recalled last year for breaching conditions.

He gave evidence to a hearing in July and a decision made last month.

The Parole Board said: “Decisions are focused on risk to the public and whether that 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.  Ali will now serve at least another two years before being able to apply for parole again.”

Ali and his gang operated in and around Telford in Shropshire, where T0mmy R0binson released his latest documentary The Rape of Britain yesterday.
