rape-victim-555259301A RAPE victim who was forced to flee to Spain after being terrorised by an Asian gang has finally seen justice as eight members have been found guilty. 

The group were convicted of multiple sex offences against three teenage girls, including the victim who fled to Spain.

One of the attackers, Sageer Hussain, 30, told the victim, who was 13 at the time: “All white girls are good for is sex and they are just slags.”

He was found guilty of four rapes and one indecent assault and his elder brother Basharat, 40, of one indecent assault against the same 13-year-old girl by a jury after a month-long trial at Sheffield Crown Court in the UK.

Six other members of the gang were found guilty of a further ten charges of sexually abusing the three girls.

All the men subjected them to acts of a ‘degrading and violent nature’, the court heard.

Peter Mann, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said after the case: “In contrast to the courage and strength of the victims, these men’s actions are utterly abhorrent. They waged a campaign of sexual violence and intimidation against young girls.”

The victim who fled to Spain first reported her rape to authorities in April 2003, but dropped the allegations when the gang threatened to burn down the family home and gang-rape her mother.

South Yorkshire Police then lost the clothes she was wearing when she was raped by Sageer.

They later paid her €150 in compensation.

The rape kit was also not retained because the allegation was dropped.

Seized mobile phones and tapes of Sageer’s 2003 police interview also disappeared.

Fearing for their lives, the family was forced to move to Spain in 2005, and in 2011 the victim was awarded €22,000 in compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority in 2011 for the mishandling of her first complaint.

The UK’s National Crime Agency has said the investigation into the Rotherham scandal was likely to involve 1,400 victims and hundreds of potential suspects.

The scandal saw authorities cover up or ignore cases of sexual abuse for fear of ‘giving oxygen’ to racism as most of the attackers were British-Pakistani.

  1. Any muslims would agree that these thugs and their network of sexual predators need to be prosecuted.
    Regardless of vengeance threats, authorities must confidently pursue justice regardless of whether there is an appearance of prejudice. UK pseudo liberal policies having little to do with democracy have created this mess. Clearly, appeasement is not an answer to the integration problem.
    Will the loss or destruction of evidence also be investigated?

  2. There is a further strand to this evil saga. Although the ostensible excuse for reluctant policing is possible accusations of prejudice, in fact the victims were seen as fairly worthless and actively pursuing this lifestyle. So even when they broke away from their “grooming” their complaints and accusations were ignored.
    All more a case of cynical laziness rather than “liberal policies”. Cover-ups naturally follow faulty procedures.

  3. You enter my country, you live by my rules or don’t come in the first place. Why any respect for any religion is tolerated is beyond me. These vermin should be castrated and sent back to their racial homelands even if they were born in the UK, why should we have to waste tax payers money on them in prison, far better things to spend that money on.

  4. But this is, what the Brexit supporters wanted: throw out the Polish migrants and replace them by migrants from Pakistan. Throw out the Spanish nurses and replace them by nurses from Philippines.

  5. Wolfgang you know nothing about the UK. If the Brits actually had politicians of any hue that actually cared about their country then we would have trained our own people and we would have no need for any immigrant labour at all. Both Right and Left are in the pocket of big business and immigrants will work for less and keep quiet because they are still earning far more than back in Poland/Romania/Albania/the Baltic States. 3 Poles have rented a house down the road here where I live in France. They are not highly skilled workers, they do not speak French have zero contact with local people, nor do they want any. They could’nt give a damn about France or the French, the French know this and they are not a servile people unlike the Brits.

    Another neighbour who is a driver was angry when I told him about the Poles. He said that so many French drivers had lost their jobs to Poles/Albanians and Romanians who, back in their homelands would be earning 1/6th of what they can acheive in France.

    Those who support mass immigration from Eastern Europe are either really stupid or profit directly or indirectly from this invasion but there is a huge elephant which has arrived but because it exists inside industrial buildings it is’nt obvious – robotisation.

    This will destroy the jobs of millions of indigenous peoples, just what do you think will happen to their attitudes towards these totally unnecessaary immigrants. The rich will be safe behind their gated communities protected by armed guards. These communities already exist in some obvious places like the USA but also in countries like Vietnam/Ukraine etc. Interesting times are ahead and it will be a violent time.
