In April 2024, another Kirklees and Dewsbury Grooming Gang from West Yorkshire was brought to jail.
In the aftermath of the egregious mistreatment of eight young girls from 1999 to 2012, 24 men from the Kirklees and Dewsbury Grooming Gang were ultimately incarcerated last year for their participation in the atrocity.
West Yorkshire Police stated that the victims were regarded as ‘vulnerable commodities to be exploited and exchanged at will.’
The names were ultimately disclosed following the removal of a reporting prohibition.
Zafar Qayum received a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison after being convicted of six counts of rape, five counts of indecent assault, and three counts of aiding and abetting rape.
The other men received sentences varying from four and a half to 24 years.
The other Kirklees and Dewsbury Grooming Gang members names were: Khurum Raziq, Nasar Hussain, Ansar Qayum, Mohammed Jabbar Qayum, Mohammed Imran Zada, Michael Birkenshaw, Amran Mehrban, Sarkaut Yasen, Mohammed Saleem Nasir, Irfan Khan, Omar Farooq Hussain, Sarfraz Hussain Riaz, Zafar Iqbal, Nasar Iqbal, Mohammed Chothia, Bilal Patel, Asif Ali, Mohammed Tauseef Hanif, Ali Shah, Moshin Nadat, Safraz Miraf, Mohammed Nazam Nasser and Amir Ali Hussain.
