The Police have lost another British Asian Paedophile, Muhammad Zahid. The Burnley Paedophile was sentenced in absentia for the attempted sexual assault of an 11-year-old child in Burnley in 2021.

The individual depicted is Muhammad Zahid, aged 59, who in 2021 attempted to sexually assault and rape an 11-year-old girl in Burnley.

His failure was only due to the courageous victim successfully dislodging him.

On Tuesday, October 7th, he received a sentence of ten and a half years at Burnley Crown Court. The sentence comprised nine years and six months of custody, followed by an additional year on extended license, as the trial judge classified Muhammad Zahid as a dangerous criminal.

Despite compelling his victim to testify, Muhammad Zahid absconded midway through the trial and is currently sought by a Bench Warrant.

If you see Muhammad Zahid, call 999. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to email 536@lancashire.police.uk or call 101, quoting log 349 of 28th November 2022.

Muhammad Zahid, from Burnley, denied a single count of attempted rape but was found guilty by a jury at Burnley Crown Court earlier this year.

As well as being given the custodial sentence, he was made subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life.

The Police now need you to find him, in Britain or, more likely, the Asian Continent.
