Four men have been found guilty after a teenage girl was raped and sexually exploited.

Arqash Zaffar, Shiraz Nassir, Mohammed Nadim and Shaban Arif were convicted for their part in assaulting the 16-year-old girl during a "horrific ordeal", said West Midlands police.

Zaffar and Nassir were found guilty of rape, Nadim of sexual assault and Arif of facilitating travel for sexual exploitation.

Police said the girl was assaulted several times by the group after being picked up in Birmingham, before being taken to Denton, Greater Manchester, and Walsall where she was raped by the pair and other unknown men.

Zaffar and Nadim targeted the girl while she was waiting for the bus on Alum Rock Road in Birmingham, with Zaffar asking for her number.

She declined and got on the bus – but days later the men targeted her again and persuaded her to get in the car offering her a lift to the city centre.

Police said instead Zaffar drove her to a secluded area where both he and Nadim sexually assaulted in the back of the car.

They picked up Arif before driving the teenager to the home of Nassir in Denton, where she was raped by Zaffar and Nassir.

The girl reported being taken back to a hotel room in Walsall where she was abused further by Zaffar.

  4. Now, I wonder if the sentence they receive will be higher or lower than that of a Twitter/X user who’s caught (grassed up for) complaining about this type of behaviour while pointing out the pattern.

  7. Four fine upstanding citizens who have embraced the UK way of life, its values and laws.

  8. So from reading this is it now safe to assume grooming gangs operate at a national level and aren’t just limited to specific towns or cities?

  12. for the racist and finget pointing against a whole community comment dont forget **82-85% of all suspect and convicted sexual offenders are white men**

  13. Yes white men rape, Chinese men rape, African men rape,
    Just there seems to be a inordinate amount of evidence when perp is caught and questioned, that he has entered country illegally, etc just seems a large amount are entering UK, unchecked potentially predators
    Why is it wrong to question that?

  15. All rapists are despicable and how they form into gangs should be researched, understood and targeted. It is good that people are being caught, found guilty and sentenced but stopping this “as early as possible” should be a goal
