The Offender Database reported that 4 members of the Walsall and Manchester British Pakistani Grooming Gang are confronting substantial prison sentences following the rape and sexual exploitation of a young English teenage girl during harrowing attacks.
She initially encountered Arqash Zaffar and Mohammed Nadim as they were driving a BMW on Alum Rock Road in Birmingham.
Arqash Zaffar requested her phone number, but she refused and entered a neighbouring bus.
Several days later, she was on the same road when the men in the identical automobile approached her once more.
They convinced her to enter, providing her with a ride to the city core.
Arqash Zaffar transported her to a remote location where he and Mohammed Nadim sexually raped her in the rear of the vehicle, then transported her to Walsall.
During her time with Arqash Zaffar, the girl remembered how he picked up his associate, Shahban Arif, and they both drove her to Manchester, where a meeting with another associate, Shiraz Nassir, had been arranged.
Following the retrieval of Nassir, they proceeded to his residence in Denton, where the girl was sexually assaulted by Arqash Zaffar and Shiraz Nassir.
Following this heinous crime, Arqash Zaffar and Arif transported the girl to Walsall, where Shaban Arif had reserved a hotel room.
The girl endured additional torture by Arqash Zaffar within the hotel room, with Shaban Arif once more in attendance.
Arqash Zaffar subsequently transported her from Walsall to Birmingham, where he convened with another partner.
That evening, the girl recounted being escorted to a hotel, where Arqash Zaffar informed her that he had a gift for her.
Upon entering the room, she encountered four unfamiliar men waiting in the room for her.
The girl subsequently recounted how they raped her one after another.
She courageously reported this matter to the police.
- Arqash Zaffar, aged 41, of Persehouse Street, Walsall, was found guilty of five counts of rape, causing the child to engage in sexual activity without consent on four occasions and also facilitating travel with a view to sexually exploiting the child.

- Mohammed Nadim, 45, of Holtshill Lane, Walsall, was found guilty of sexual assault.
- Shaban Arif, 42, of Holden Crescent, Walsall, was found guilty of facilitating travel of the child with a view of sexual exploitation.
