NIAZ AHMED AND HUDDERSFIELD GROOMING SCANDAL: MASSIVE CHILD ABUSE CASE REVEALED
| Red Rose Database
Huddersfield Grooming Gang Member
A disturbing and extensive grooming operation involving twenty men has come to light, revealing a campaign of exploitation, trafficking, drugging, and sexual assault targeting vulnerable young girls across West Yorkshire. The case, which is believed to be the largest of its kind in Britain, has shocked the nation and exposed the depths of depravity within a criminal network operating predominantly from Huddersfield.
At the center of this heinous conspiracy was Niaz Ahmed, a 54-year-old man from Huddersfield, who is currently awaiting sentencing scheduled for November 1. His involvement in the abuse ring has been confirmed, and he faces a severe legal penalty for his role in the crimes. The full details of his conviction and the extent of his crimes are expected to be revealed during the upcoming sentencing.
The investigation and subsequent trials uncovered a horrifying pattern of abuse that spanned from 2004 to 2011. The victims, fifteen girls in total, were subjected to relentless exploitation by the gang, which used tactics such as offering alcohol and drugs to manipulate and control them. Many of these girls were as young as 11 years old when they fell prey to the predators. The abuse took place in various locations across West Yorkshire, including car parks, hotels, takeaways, snooker halls, and even remote areas like moors and reservoirs.
One particularly disturbing case involved an 11 or 12-year-old girl who was abducted from a care home. She was supplied with ecstasy and forced to perform sexual acts, a detail revealed during the proceedings at Leeds Crown Court. The victims' accounts painted a picture of systematic grooming, where the perpetrators created false bonds of trust through flattery, gifts, and social outings such as parties and car rides. Many victims believed they were forming genuine relationships, unaware of the predatory intent behind the men’s actions.
The gang members, mostly from Huddersfield, referred to each other using nicknames like “Dracula,” “Beastie,” and “Chiller,” which were used during the trials. The ringleader, Dhaliwal, was identified as a married father of two who committed numerous rapes, incited child prostitution, trafficked girls across the region, and even filmed the abuse on his mobile phone. His treatment of the victims was described as “inhuman,” with one incident involving sexual abuse using a drinks bottle during a game of truth or dare. On another occasion, an intoxicated 15-year-old girl was raped by Dhaliwal as others watched, an act described by the judge as “degrading and wicked.”
The court heard that Dhaliwal’s actions were deliberately targeted at vulnerable girls, many of whom had troubled home lives. Some victims had learning disabilities, and others had attempted suicide or undergone abortions. One girl was thrown out of a moving car outside her home, suffering bruises and under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The predators exploited their vulnerabilities, often threatening and intimidating the girls to maintain control.
Judge Geoffrey Marson QC emphasized the severity of the crimes, stating that the case was “at the top of the scale” of sexual abuse cases he had encountered. He described the abuse as “vile and wicked,” noting that none of the offenders expressed remorse. The judge also highlighted the lasting impact on the victims and their families, many of whom remain profoundly affected by their experiences. The court’s findings underscored that the abuse was meticulously planned and executed by a large group of men, predominantly of Asian descent, targeting girls because of their extreme vulnerability.
Legal restrictions on reporting the case, initially imposed in November 2017, were partially lifted on the day of the verdict to allow media coverage. The case had previously attracted controversy when Tommy Robinson, an anti-Islam activist, filmed defendants outside Leeds Crown Court, nearly causing the trial to collapse. Robinson was later jailed for contempt of court, though his conviction was later quashed, and he is scheduled for a retrial at the Old Bailey.
Detective Chief Inspector Ian Mottershaw of West Yorkshire Police praised the bravery of the victims and urged others who have suffered similar exploitation to come forward. He condemned the actions of the “depraved individuals” involved in the abuse and emphasized the importance of justice and support for victims.
The list of convicted men includes Irfan Ahmed (8 years), Zahid Hassan (18 years), Mohammed Kammer (16 years), Mohammed Rizwan Aslam (15 years), Abdul Rehman (16 years), Raj Singh Barsran (17 years), Nahman Mohammed (15 years), Mansoor Akhtar (8 years), Wiqas Mahmud (15 years), Nasarat Hussain (17 years), Sajid Hussain (17 years), Mohammed Irfraz (6 years), Faisal Nadeem (12 years), Mohammed Azeem (18 years), Manzoor Hassan (5 years), and others. The sentences reflect the gravity of their crimes, with Dhaliwal receiving a life sentence with a minimum of 18 years.
As the legal proceedings continue, the community and authorities remain committed to addressing the trauma inflicted by this case and preventing similar crimes in the future. The case has cast a spotlight on the ongoing issue of child sexual exploitation and the importance of vigilance and justice in protecting society’s most vulnerable.
