A Paedophile from Leeds, Khalid Hussain, has been sentenced to over 20 years in prison following his conviction for multiple serious sexual offences.
Khalid Hussain (56) of Leeds was sentenced to 24 years at Leeds Crown Court on Monday, April 7, for 10 sexual offences, including five counts of rape against a minor over a decade ago.
The police have commended the victim’s courage in coming forward as an adult and subsequently aiding the prosecution against Khalid Hussain.
The 56-year-old was convicted of all charges by a jury at a trial at Leeds Crown Court in October 2024 and was detained for sentencing today.
The jury was informed that Hussain perpetrated the offences against a minor victim from 2010 to 2014.
She initially reported the misconduct in March 2020, prompting an investigation conducted by the Leeds Safeguarding Team.
Khalid Hussain was initially apprehended immediately after the inaugural report was filed. However, Rose pursued her and resumed her seat next her. Upon his ultimate departure from the waiting area, the woman courageously informed the staff of her experience.
DC Bernadette Cooper, officer in the case said: “The victim in this case has shown incredible bravery in coming forward and making the report to police.
“It has been an incredibly long and challenging time for her and she has not wavered in her support for the investigation to allow us to investigate this matter objectively and robustly.
“Hussain’s offences have quite simply been appalling and we welcome his sentencing today.
“We always encourage all victims of sexual assault to come forwards, no matter how long ago offending took place.
“All reports are thoroughly and sympathetically investigated, and we can also help link victims with partner agencies for any support they may need.”
