A predatory child sex offender who groomed young girls for sex after giving them drugs and alcohol at parties has been jailed.<\/p>\n

Shahid Khan targeted three vulnerable young girls, who were aged between 13 and 15 years, when he started abusing them, West Midlands Police<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

Police found evidence of the girls being at parties where they would be given drink and drugs and where he would sexually exploit them.<\/p>\n

Khan, 31, of Sommerville Road, Small Heath<\/a>, was due to stand trial, but on the first day of the case he changed his pleas to guilty, police said.<\/p>\n

He admitted five charges, including sexual activity with the three girls and engaging in sexual communications with one of the girls when she was aged 13.<\/p>\n

He admitted the fifth charge – perverting the course of justice \u2013 after using a phone while in prison to try to get the girls to drop their allegations against him.<\/p>\n

Khan\u2019s sentencing was the culmination of more than two years of work, with officers from our Public Protection Unit working tirelessly to gather evidence and statements from the girls Khan abused, and support them through the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n

Det Insp Joe Davenport, who oversaw the investigation, said: \u201cIt\u2019s a credit to the bravery of the girls that Khan abused that they were willing to make their voices heard and to face him in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a predatory sexual offender, who sought out vulnerable children, and sexually exploited them for his own gratification. He acted brazenly and believed he was above the law, and that the girls would not be believed.<\/p>\n

“Investigations into child sexual exploitation are particularly complex and difficult, and the officers involved worked tirelessly to get the best evidence. Their dedication and support of the victims through the criminal justice process ensured that these young women saw their abuser brought to justice.<\/p>\n

“We, the Crown Prosecution Service and courts take child sexual exploitation seriously, and I hope that this encourages other people who have been abused in this way to tell us what has happened so we can break the cycle of abuse and bring other perpetrators to justice.”<\/p>\n

Khan was classed as a dangerous offender by a judge and given a 13-year prison sentence. He was also ordered to spend an extra five years on licence when he is released.<\/p>\n

He was also placed on the sex offenders register, given a sexual harm prevention order, and restraining orders against the three girls he physically abused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shahid Khan, 31, from Small Heath, admitted a string of sex charges and has been jailed for 13…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,10586,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-105935","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-bordesley-green-and-small-heath","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114516862328847097","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
