| Red Rose Database
Moor Allerton Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that has raised serious concerns about the safety of young girls in Leeds, Yasir Mohammed, a known sex offender from Moor Allerton, was recently apprehended and returned to prison after a series of alarming incidents involving schoolchildren. The events unfolded in the Carr Manor area of Leeds, where Mohammed's suspicious behavior was observed by a vigilant resident, ultimately leading to his re-arrest and conviction.
Yasir Mohammed, aged 32, had previously served a significant prison sentence for grave sexual offenses committed against two girls under the age of 13. In September 2011, he was sentenced to eight years in prison for these offenses. However, he was released on licence midway through his sentence, under strict conditions that included a sexual offences prevention order. This order explicitly prohibited him from having any unsupervised contact with children, reflecting the serious nature of his past crimes and the ongoing risk he posed.
The incident that brought Mohammed back into the spotlight occurred on June 10 of this year. According to court reports, a 14-year-old girl was walking along Carr Manor Road, dressed in her school uniform, when she was approached by Mohammed in his vehicle. The prosecution, led by Carmel Pearson, detailed how Mohammed drove alongside the young girl, wound down his car window, and made inappropriate gestures by winking at her and attempting to initiate conversation. The girl, understandably frightened, continued walking but was followed by Mohammed, who persisted in his pursuit.
Realizing the danger, the girl told Mohammed to stop following her and informed him that she had taken a photograph of his car with her mobile phone. Her quick thinking was crucial in documenting the incident. A resident who witnessed the encounter later saw Mohammed's vehicle again, this time at a bus stop where he was speaking to another schoolgirl. This resident promptly contacted the police, providing the vehicle's registration number, which enabled authorities to trace Mohammed's whereabouts.
When questioned by police, Mohammed initially denied any wrongdoing, claiming he had been at the mosque at the time of the incident and that he had sold his car to someone else. Despite his denials, the evidence against him was compelling. The police investigation confirmed his involvement, and he was charged with breaching his sexual offences prevention order.
During court proceedings, Mohammed pleaded guilty to two counts of breaching the order. A probation report described him as lacking motivation to address his offending behavior, raising concerns about his potential risk to the community. His defense argued that he admitted the offenses early to spare the victims from having to testify in court, but the judge was not convinced that he posed no ongoing threat.
Judge Sally Cahill, QC, sentenced Mohammed to three years in prison and imposed an extended two-year period on licence following his release. The judge emphasized the danger Mohammed represented, stating, “I am satisfied that young girls are at risk from you and I am satisfied that you are a dangerous offender.” The case underscores the importance of vigilant community oversight and the ongoing challenges in managing offenders with a history of sexual crimes, especially in areas like Moor Allerton and Leeds at large.
