Six Men Jailed For More Than 55 Years For Sexually Abusing Girls In Huddersfield – Updated.

From the West Yorkshire Police Press release. It sounds good but 6 into 55 goes not enough. 

Six men have been jailed for a combined 55 and a half years years after being sentenced for the sexual abuse of two girls in Huddersfield.His Honour Judge Marson described the men’s actions as disgusting and degrading and stated the sentences were severe to discourage others from behaving in such a fashion.

They are:

Usman Ali (34) of Park Drive, Huddersfield, who was sentenced to eight years in custody after being found guilty of two offences of rape against one victim

Gul Riaz (43) of Balmoral Avenue, Huddersfield, was sentenced to 15 years  after being found guilty of an offence of rape and two indecent assaults against one victim and a rape offence against the other.

Banaras Hussain (39) of Scarborough Road, Shipley, was sentenced to nine and a half years after being found guilty of an offence of rape against one victim.

Abdul Majid (36) of Lightcliffe Road, Huddersfield was sentenced to 11 years after being found guilty of two offences of rape against one victim.

A 36-year-old Huddersfield man was sentenced to eight years after being found guilty of an offence of rape against one victim.

  • A 37-year-old Huddersfield man who was found guilty of an offence of rape against one victim will be sentenced on Thursday 20th February 2020

The victims, who were not known to each other, were aged just 13 and 14 when they first separately came to the attention of men who began to prey on them.

Update Friday 21st February. According to the Public Access Cause List the seventh man was sentenced yesterday. The cause list does not give results, merely listing. I know there is a reporting restriction on his name. No newspaper that I can find has reported the sentence. 

Update Saturday 22nd. The West Yorkshire police updated their previous statement. 

A 37-year-old Huddersfield was sentenced to eight years on February 20 after being found guilty of an offence of rape against one victim.
