Two men have been sentenced to 13 years in prison each after a teenage girl was gang raped in a subway located in Huddersfield town centre.
Abdul Latif Salih, aged 35, of Trinity Street in Huddersfield, was convicted of multiple charges including causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent, rape, and attempted rape.
The incident occurred on July 14 last year in the subway that runs beneath the A62 Castlegate, between New North Road Baptist Church and the old Technical College building.
Salih was found guilty by a jury and subsequently sentenced to a lengthy imprisonment.
He will also be required to register as a sex offender.
The court heard that Salih's actions caused profound distress to the victim, and the investigation was led by Detective Inspector Mark Catney from Kirklees CID, who praised the victim's bravery and the swift action by police.
The sentencing highlights the seriousness of the crimes committed against the victim, and Salih's inclusion on the sex offenders register underscores the priority given to such offences.
The case underscores the importance of reporting sexual crimes and the support available for victims.
