In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Kassam Hussain, then 31, of Antrobus Road, Handsworth Wood, Birmingham, West Midlands, was jailed for a series of predatory sexual crimes and abductions. On Friday, 27 February 2026, the defendant appeared at Birmingham Crown Court for sentencing. It was reported that Hussain had been found guilty of nine separate offences following a two-week trial in December 2025.
The investigation established that Hussain’s offending began in September 2024, when he raped a teenage girl and groomed and sexually assaulted a second teenager. West Midlands Police reported that his predatory behaviour escalated in May 2025, when he abducted the second victim and a third teenage girl. The prosecution reported that a jury at Birmingham Crown Court returned unanimous guilty verdicts on all counts, marking the end of a horrific ordeal for the victims in Birmingham, West Midlands.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Hussain targeted multiple vulnerable teenagers over a period of several months. Birmingham Crown Court heard how the defendant used grooming tactics to manipulate his victims before subjecting them to sexual violence and abduction. The prosecution reported that since the offences in Handsworth Wood, the victims have been provided with specialist safeguarding and support from the Public Protection Unit.
The judge noted the gravity of the nine offences and the profound impact of the abductions on the victims and their families. For his actions in Birmingham, Hussain was handed a total custodial sentence of 16 years. The judge noted that the severity of the serial rape, grooming, and kidnapping necessitated a long-term prison sentence to ensure the safety of the public and the children of West Midlands.
