Sex Gang Leader Shabir Ahmed Jailed For 22 Years For 'Campaign Of Rape'

'Campaign Of Rape' Sex Gang Leader Jailed

The ringleader of a gang of Asian men who groomed young white girls for sex has been jailed for 22 years for a "campaign of rape" against a young Asian girl.

Shabir Ahmed, 59, led a child sex exploitation ring of nine men who targeted vulnerable young girls in the Rochdale and Oldham areas.

He was jailed for 19 years in May following an 11-week trial at Liverpool Crown Court.

Shabir Ahmed shouted 'it's all lies' as he was sent to prison for 22 years

Today he received another prison term - to run concurrently - after he was convicted in June of 30 specimen counts of child rape.

A jury heard he raped and sexually abused the Asian youngster over many years and treated her as a "possession" whom he used for his own sexual gratification.

Ahmed, formerly of Windsor Road, Oldham, will in effect serve an additional three years to the sentence imposed at Liverpool Crown Court.

Sentencing him at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, Judge Mushtaq Khokhar was forced to removed Ahmed from the dock before he passed sentence as he was persistently interrupted by the defendant.

Before his ejection, Ahmed shouted: "It's all lies. It's all concocted by the police."

He then looked over at the Press bench and snarled: "What are you looking at?"
