Rotherham child sex abuse scandal: Gang jailed for total of 106 years for ‘harrowing’ child sex offences

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

The men handed jail sentences are:

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

The victims, who were both in care and aged between 11 and 16 at the time of the offences, in the early 2000s, were groomed and often plied with alcohol or cannabis before being raped or assaulted.

Other cases, in other courts, continue. No all of them reach the loca newspaper, let alone the BBC
