Three men who groomed, trafficked, and repeatedly raped a vulnerable schoolgirl aged just 13 in Rotherham have been unanimously convicted at Sheffield Crown Court following a National Crime Agency (NCA) Operation Stovewood investigation—with two of the offenders remaining on the run as wanted fugitives after being granted bail and failing to attend their trial.
Brothers Mudasar Hussain, aged 36, and Ghazanfar Hussain, aged 40, alongside Kamir Khan, aged 36, were found guilty by a jury on every count on Thursday 12 November 2026 in relation to horrific sexual exploitation committed against the child between 2008 and 2010.
The court heard that the victim—now in her 30s—was aged just 13 to 14 when she was targeted, manipulated, and repeatedly abused by the three offenders:
Drug dealer Mudasar Hussain groomed the schoolgirl with cannabis and alcohol before repeatedly raping her, leading to unanimous convictions on 12 counts of rape.
His brother, Ghazanfar Hussain, drove the child to a garage in Tinsley in April 2009, where he raped her inside a vehicle inspection pit, resulting in a conviction for one count of rape.
Kamir Khan sexually exploited the girl over a seven-month period, even offering her to other men as a “favour”, and was convicted of two counts of rape and one count of trafficking for sexual exploitation.
All three defendants denied wrongdoing, but jurors at Sheffield Crown Court rejected their defences and returned unanimous guilty verdicts on every single charge on Thursday 12 November 2026.
In a shocking development, Mudasar Hussain and Kamir Khan remain fugitives having failed to attend their trial while on bail, with one allegedly having fled to Pakistan. Only Ghazanfar Hussain appeared in the dock to face justice, while the National Crime Agency continues to actively hunt the two fugitives, pursuing leads both in Britain and overseas.
The convictions mark a further milestone under Operation Stovewood, the major NCA investigation into the systematic sexual exploitation of children in Rotherham. Prosecutors confirmed that the sustained abuse caused the survivor serious and lifelong harm, praising her extraordinary courage in pursuing justice after years of suffering.
Under the provisions of the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992, the survivor in this case is protected by mandatory, lifelong statutory anonymity from the moment an allegation is made. Any publication, broadcast, or public dissemination of information capable of leading to her identification is strictly prohibited under UK law.
All three men are scheduled to be sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday 13 November 2026, with fugitives Mudasar Hussain and Kamir Khan facing sentencing in their absence. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Mudasar Hussain or Kamir Khan is urged to contact the police or the National Crime Agency.
