Men, mostly of Pakistani origin, have been systematically grooming and raping British girls for decades.
Now, Open Justice UK claims to have acquired the first portion of the “redacted grooming gang sentencing remarks … dating back to 2016.” The organization published the remarks for all to see Dec. 2. Open Justice UK published a second portion of sentencing remarks Thursday. The organization is dedicated to “pushing for public access to court records,” a process they’ve documented on social media.
Let’s begin in the town of Rotherham, where brothers Arshid, Basharat, and Bannaras Hussain were sentenced for their crimes in 2016. The brothers were aided by their uncle, Qurban Ali, and co-conspirators Karen MacGregor and Shelley Davies.
Arshid and Basharat Hussain were found guilty of “multiple rapes and indecent assaults,” according to the BBC. Bannaras Hussain pled guilty to 10 charges, including rape and indecent assault. Ali was found guilty of conspiracy to rape. MacGregor and Davies “were convicted of conspiracy to procure prostitutes and false imprisonment.” The gang’s total offenses totaled 55, according to The Guardian.
The Hussain brothers began their campaign of sexual exploitation in 1987, reportedly stopping around 2003.
Arshid Hussain “played a key role” in the assaults, according to Judge Sarah Wright. He appeared to “rule Rotherham,” in the words of some of his victims, an authority he fully exploited.
One victim was 11 when she was turned over to the “local authority care” by her mother. After being placed at a children’s home, she “became difficult to manage” and “Asian men would call at the house and ask for her.” Asian, here, means South Asian, specifically Pakistanis.
Arshid Hussain was “friendly initially but became nasty over time” to the girl, according to Wright’s reported remarks.
He “wanted her to perform oral sex and when she refused, [he] forced her.” He was “violent towards her and so after a time she stopped resisting.” He “sought her out on an almost daily basis and over time progressed to having some form of sexual activity … every time [he] saw her.”
She was “passed to friends over time” and traded as payment for debts.
“She was beaten, had a cigarette stubbed out on her chest, was tied up and raped, orally, vaginally and anally from a very young age often by numerous men one after the other at the say-so of … Arshid Hussain,” the sentencing remarks allege.
“She started taking heroin and became addicted over time.” When the girl was moved to a different children’s home, Arshid Hussain found her, and the abuse continued. The girl reported the abuse to the staff, “but they accused her of covering up for running away.”
She fell pregnant at 14. She aborted the baby.
“Throughout these years in the care system before she turned 16, she had to have sex with different Asian men on a daily basis. They were older, some in their thirties and sometimes up to three a day.”
Arshid Hussain also abused a 14-year-old girl who “had been abused from the age of seven by various other men.” Arshid Hussain “turned up” at the victim’s apartment and asked her if she knew who he was.
He “ordered her to suck [his] penis. [He] forced her to her knees calling her a white bitch and trash telling her that Asian women didn’t perform oral sex as it was against their religion. When she tried to refuse, [he] took hold of her hair, refused to let her get a condom, forcibly pushed [his] penis into her mouth and ejaculated,” according to the sentencing remarks.
The perpetrators’ stated religion was Islam. The British press and government was loath to notice this trend among abusers, attributing concerns to “racism” or “Islamophobia.” Perpetrators of the abuse were overwhelmingly self-described Muslims (almost all Pakistanis are Muslim). The perpetrators viewed it as acceptable to victimize young English girls, because the girls were not Muslim.
“Rotherham has an established sexual exploitation scene, which is described as very organised, and involving systematic physical and sexual violence against the young women involved,” Angie Heal wrote in a 2006 report for the South Yorkshire police.
Some young people in Rotherham believed the police “dare not act against Asian youth for fear of allegations of racism,” Heal concluded.
The West does not have a “rape culture,” despite the claims of 2010s feminists. Pakistan does have a “rape culture.” To be more precise: Pakistan appears to have a lot of rapists. So-called “radical Islam” is not a perversion of the Quran. It is a perfectly consistent interpretation of a religion which says of nonbelievers, “Kill them where you find them.”
As one Rotherham victim recalled, “I was called a ‘white slag’ and ‘white c***’ as they beat me. They made it clear that because I was a non-Muslim, and not a virgin, and because I didn’t dress ‘modestly,’ that they believed I deserved to be ‘punished’.”
Another Rotherham victim, aged 12 or 13, was living at a children’s home when she met Basharat Hussain. The older man picked her and another girl up from the children’s home, “apparently checking with a member of staff that it was all right to bring them home by 11 p.m.”
Basharat Hussain forced the young girl to give him oral sex, according to the sentencing remarks, from which point he frequently sexually abused her.
Basharat Hussain eventually dropped the girl off at a restaurant, where she “was kept in appalling, squalid conditions and treated as a slave having to work in the restaurant and have sex with the owner and on occasions his son and other men … She was eventually helped by a charity called Risky Business to return to Rotherham where she discovered she had [sexually transmitted infections] and nits.”
Bannaras Hussain raped a 13-year-old girl in June 1997. She “tried to push [him] off but [he] took her trousers and knickers off and forced [his] penis inside– into her vagina, not using any contraception and ejaculating inside her. Later she bled and didn’t dare to tell anyone,” the sentencing remarks read.
The Rotherham 2016 sentencing document recalls the testimony of 15 victims. There are four other sentencing documents for Rotherham trials alone. There are four sentencing documents for Kirklees trials and one for an Oxford trial.
The girls’ stories vary in horrors, but share a general narrative: A gang of muslim men conspired to systematically rape and torture young British girls. They were methodical and practiced. The state and the children’s homes apparently turned a blind eye. Adult British women — one of whom had been a victim of sexual abuse by the men herself — colluded with the men to rape and torture young British girls.
“The harm you have caused is of unimaginable proportions,” Wright reportedly wrote of Arshid Hussain. He received a 35-year sentence. Basharat Hussain received 25 years imprisonment. Bannaras Hussain received 19 years imprisonment, receiving “appropriate credit” for his guilty plea. Karen MacGregor received 13 years imprisonment. Qurban Ali received 10 years imprisonment.
Even life imprisonment would seem generous for the crimes committed by these men.
But Bannaras Hussain was reportedly released from prison December 2024, after serving 9 of his 19-year sentence.
One wonders whether the abused girls had a single adult invested in their welfare. State actors were negligent, at the very least. A 12-year-old girl was molested in a churchyard in 2006, according to the Oldham Times. She was rebuked by police officers for being “drunk,” and, minutes later, fell into “the hands of vile sexual predators” who raped her throughout the night. Most were never caught.
Terrible things happen to conquered cities. Houses burned, men slaughtered, women raped or sold for slaves. These have traditionally been good incentives to not get conquered. To try to not get conquered, at least. (RELATED: Scotland Police Charge Teen Girl Seen In Viral Alleged Attempted Migrant Assault)
The British empire was supreme. Prompted by little more than perverted moral obligation, the British state has laid down their arms, offered up their young, and begged for annihilation.
