Another British Guest, Aqueel Hussain, the Blackburn Paedophile, defined by police as a “dangerous, depraved pervert”, has been incarcerated for the rape of an English 12-year-old schoolgirl.
Aqueel Hussain, 33, manipulated the girl on Snapchat, falsely claiming to be 19, and ultimately coordinated a meeting in Colne on 28 November, according to Lancashire Police.
CCTV evidence recorded Aqueel Hussain escorting the girl, clad in her school uniform, into a store where he purchased a phone charger, prior to beating her in the rear of his vehicle.
At Preston Crown Court, he received a 16-year sentence after being found guilty of rape and engaging with a girl under the age of 16 following grooming.
The victim accompanied a friend to the shopping centre, but the friend departed, prompting Aqueel Hussain to reserve and pay for a cab via an online booking platform.
Subsequent to the girl and Aqueel Hussain exiting the store, Aqueel Hussain beckoned her inside his white BMW.
He manoeuvred to a remote location in the parking lot, entered the rear of his vehicle, and purportedly offered his victim £100 to participate, according to police reports.
Aqueel Hussain raped the victim while she was in the rear of the BMW.
Following the report of the incident, police recognised Aqueel Hussain using the mobile number used to reserve the taxi.
Officers conducted a visit to a residence in Blackburn, and although Aqueel Hussain was absent, the identical distinctive trousers he wore in the CCTV footage on the day of the rape were discovered in a secure bedroom.
While en route to a second residence associated with Aqueel Hussain in Blackburn, law enforcement observed his white BMW.
The police momentarily pursued the BMW before halting it and apprehending Aqueel Hussain.
He donned the identical pullover and jacket observed in the CCTV film from the day he perpetrated the rape.
Aqueel Hussain, a resident of Blackburn, was convicted after a trial conducted earlier this year.
In an impact statement to the court, the victim’s mother said: “No parenting book could ever have prepared me for the police standing in my kitchen putting my daughter’s school uniform into evidence bags.”
She added, “My daughter is the strongest, bravest person I know. Thanks to her courage, nobody else will hopefully have to suffer because of this man’s actions.”
