In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Abdulraziq Mohammed, 33, of Winson Green, Birmingham, was jailed for 11 years for the abduction and sexual assault of a five-year-old girl. On appearing at Birmingham Crown Court on 14 March 2026 via videolink from HMP Long Lartin, the Sudanese national was sentenced for a “vile” and “shameful” attack that occurred on 30 March 2025. It was reported that Mohammed snatched the child from the street while she was playing and detained her inside his room at a shared house (HMO).
The investigation established the predatory and violent nature of Mohammed’s behaviour. West Midlands Police reported that the child’s mother had looked away for less than ten seconds before the girl was taken. The prosecution reported that the mother and a friend conducted a frantic search until they heard crying coming from Mohammed’s property. When the friend looked through a window, she saw Mohammed and the girl partially undressed; Mohammed then punched the woman through the window as she attempted to rescue the child.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that members of the public played a vital role in the rescue, forcing entry into the home and detaining Mohammed until officers arrived. Birmingham Crown Court heard how the mother was so desperate to reach her daughter that she used a scaffolding board to try and break the window. The investigation established that when Mohammed was finally confronted, his trousers fell to his ankles as he was not wearing undergarments, confirming the “depraved” and “warped” intent of the abduction.
Her Honour Judge Maylin noted that the victim has been transformed from a happy girl into a child with complex behavioural needs, while the mother continues to suffer from panic attacks and financial hardship. For his actions in Winson Green, Mohammed was found guilty of false imprisonment with intent to commit a sexual offence, sexual assault of a girl under 13, and assault. The judge noted his lack of remorse and handed down an 11-year custodial term with an additional four-year extended licence, totalling a 15-year sentence.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Mohammed is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by the police and the National Probation Service in the West Midlands. Due to the nature of his conduct in Birmingham, which involved snatching a child from the street and using violence to prevent her rescue, his management is subject to the highest level of scrutiny. Authorities state that his life-long inclusion on the Sex Offenders Register and his four-year extended licence are critical tools to ensure he is subject to permanent residency checks and strict monitoring upon any eventual release.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register for life, Mohammed must comply with all notification requirements regarding his identity and residence. Authorities state that his history of child exploitation and violence in Winson Green necessitates permanent vigilance. Any future attempt to approach children, bypass his licence conditions, or engage in inappropriate behaviour in Birmingham or elsewhere will result in immediate arrest and a return to the court system for further incarceration.
