Seven more British Pakistanis, part of the Bradford Paedophile Ring, have been sentenced today after being found guilty of numerous charges of rape and sexual offences against a White English Schoolgirl in Bradford during the early 2000s.
Anna, a pseudonym, was aged 13 to 15 throughout the abuse that occurred from 2002 to 2004.
On October 3rd, seven individuals were condemned at Bradford Crown Court.
- Mohammed Imran Akram, 42, of Bradford, was jailed for eight and a half years

- Mohammed Naheem, 39, of Bradford was jailed for six and a half years
- Nadeem Ali, 39, of Bradford, was jailed for six and a half years
- Safraz Ahmed Latif, 40, of Bradford was jailed for seven years
This increases the overall number of individuals convicted and sentenced in connection with this investigation to eight.
Eight British Pakistani men had exploited and assaulted the victim, a White English Schoolgirl, since she was 13 years old when she resided in a children’s home in Bradford.
The victim was reported missing from home over 100 times within a two-year span.
Bradford Crown Court was informed that Raja Zulqurnean wed the White English Schoolgirl in an Islamic ceremony, which was attended by the child’s social worker, notwithstanding escalating apprehensions among care personnel regarding potential abuse.
It is reported that the British Pakistani Bradford Paedophile Ring had ties to The IslamBradford Centre (https://islambradford.com/), the Central Mosque in Bradford (https://www.jamiyat.org/), and the Doha Mosque in Bradford (https://dohamosque.co.uk/).
Jurors were informed that the paedophile compelled the child to adhere to a halal diet and don Islamic attire.
Zulqurnean also obstructed her from visiting her White English family on account of their status as “non-believers”.
The Bradford Crown Court was informed that the perpetrator deprived the victim of sustenance, education, and medical care, in addition to subjecting her to sexual abuse.
Jurors were informed that the paedophile frequently confined the abuse victim in the basement of a residence in Bradford.
The victim’s former social worker, Anwar Meah, reportedly underwent police interrogation about allegations of malfeasance in public office by helping the British Pakistani Paedophiles get access to the young White English Schoolgirl. But, of course, nothing was done about it by the West Yorkshire Police.
The Bradford children’s home recorded that the White English Schoolgirl was frequently seen “was going out with Asian men late at night and not reporting to staff about where she had been”.
A social worker told the trial that up to 10 cars each night were seen coming to the children’s home, with number plates being handed over to West Yorkshire Police every week, who did nothing.
The victim was reported missing more than 100 times between 2002 and 2004, according to records from West Yorkshire Police, who again did nothing to help her.
