Five men have been sentenced to a total of 63 years for sexually abusing scores of young girls in Rotherham.

Aftab Hussain, 40, was sentenced to 24 years in prison, and Abid Saddiq, 38, to 20 years by the judge at Sheffield Crown Court, who described Saddiq as a “cunning and determined sexual predator”.

Masaued Malik, 35, was jailed for five years; Sharaz Hussain, 35, for four years; and one man who cannot be named for legal reasons was jailed for 10 years.

Malik was told that his sentence will follow on from a 15-year term he is already serving for similar offences.

The men were convicted of a number of child sexual abuse offences, including rape and sexual assault, as part of an investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA).

Rotherham Minster as a report by Professor Alexis Jay that outlined details of exploitation over a 16-year period of girls who were raped, trafficked, threatened with extreme violence and ignored by the statutory authorities in Rotherham.

Judge Michael Slater said that, after sitting through the trial of the five men, he was “quite satisfied” that the “relevant authorities” were well aware of the way vulnerable teenagers in the South Yorkshire town were being targeted for sexual exploitation more than a decade ago.

Judge Slater described this as a “lamentable state of affairs”, saying that the authorities at the time were at best “totally ineffectual” and, at worst “wholly indifferent”.

The NCA has said itbelieves 1,510 teenagers were exploited in the town during the period between 1997 and 2013.

Friday’s sentencing followed the latest trial to arise out of Operation Stovewood – the massive National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation into the sexual exploitation of teenagers in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013.
