  1. **Man jailed for raping young girl**

    >**A man who raped a girl when she was five years old has been jailed for 14 years.**

    >Parvaiz Akhtar committed the offences 30 years ago and West Yorkshire Police officers in Calderdale launched an investigation after the victim reported his offences.

    >Akhtar, 61, was found guilty of two counts of rape and nine sexual assault charges after a trial at Bradford Crown Court and pleaded guilty to one count of rape and one of sexual assault at an earlier date.

    >He was sentenced at the same court on Tuesday and put on the sex offenders register indefinitely.

    >The offences began against the victim when she was young and continued until she was 15.

    >In a statement, she said Akhtar’s grooming and sexual abuse “stole my childhood and dignity, causing decades of self-hatred and isolation that has left a devastating impact on my life including my relationships, my family and my cultural identity”.

    >”After over 30 years of silent suffering, I’ve finally found my voice and I am reclaiming my life, knowing the shame belongs to him,” she said.

    >She said she wanted any survivor of sexual abuse to know that it was never too late to speak out.

    >Det Con Kerry Burhouse said: “The strength it takes to speak up and report offending of this nature cannot be underestimated.”

    >She said police would always investigate reports of historic sexual abuse.

  2. This is obviously a lie. Rapists get prizes, they only arrest pensioners who don’t pay their TV licence and people who say they’re English.

  3. Why only 14 years? I heard El Salvador has opened shop

  4. What a pathetically low sentence. This is almost always the case with sex offenders. Raping a 5 year old child should be a whole life order. No ifs or buts. If you’re capable of doing that to a kid you can’t be in society ever. That simple.

  5. Then they won’t be on benefits whilst he’s in jail

  6. So he could be out in 7 years for raping a 5 year old? If that’s the standard for such a crime, then it would almost make it worth the risk for some nonces. No deterrent at all.

    I won’t say what I think should happen, because I got banned last time. Apparently Reddit don’t like you talking bad about convicted child rapists 🤫

  7. These sentences makes me so angry. I have a 5 y/o and these judges are letting these people out to harm OUR children! How many more people like this are out there right now because of these crap sentences!!

  8. predictable comments that fail to comprehend that a *telegraph ragebait title* doesn’t establish any sort of causation and fails miserable to justify their prejudice This type of conclusion warrants an actual well studied, methodologically sound article. It’s no better than the ‘16% 50%’ types, you’re being intentionally (or not) dense and surface level

    they also fail to account for the fact that that immigrants are more likely to get arrested full stop, and rape as a crime is woefully downplayed in general

    note the news posts imply rise in immigrants coincides with the rise in rape statistics, failing to account for an overall improvement in criminal process, i.e. it’s easier to report a crime, there’s generally less shame on the topic, and people are more likely to report / take sexual assault seriously. This indicates the article has an agenda and seriously lacks reliability. Something which should matter when using stats to justify vast sweeping assumptions about certain races and ethnicities

    I’m also more interested in convictions than arrests, convictions is a much more concrete measure because it’s less influenced by the variables mentioned above

    Some relevant reads here that elaborate on some of the points I’ve made

  9. Just curious but are cases like this perpetrated by white men posted on this sub as much (looking at [BBC.com](http://BBC.com) there are quite a few)? Not trying to downplay this terrible event, but I feel like there is an agenda going on here sometimes.
