Following the lifting of reporting restrictions, it has for the first time become known that 15 members of a rape gang have been sentenced to prison for the rape and sexual abuse of a young girl in Bradford, England, between 2007 and 2011. This is reported by Breitbart News and British police.
West Yorkshire Police revealed on Wednesday that the 15 men had been sentenced to a total of 188 years’ imprisonment for the sexual exploitation of a girl from Bradford from the age of 14 until she was 18.
Police stated that the victim was contacted by police in 2015 after being identified as a possible former victim of a grooming gang, as she had been the subject of multiple missing-person reports.
Commenting on the convictions, the survivor said: “The men involved have taken more from me than I could ever describe in words, and when I look back now, I feel sadness for my 12-year-old self, knowing what was to come. All in all, this has occupied my life for almost 20 years; it is not something I can forget.
“My childhood has been taken from me, and the impact of what I suffered through my teenage years will always stay with me, and I will carry it with me every day and learn to navigate my way through life with it.”
Police noted that the convictions took place through a series of trials, and that the full list of offenders could not be published until now because of restrictions on court reporting.
Among those convicted were:
Hannan Miah, 40, of Bradford, sentenced to 12 years for four rapes.
Asif Budhia, 43, of Bradford, sentenced to 13 years for four rapes.
Abdul Basith, 44, of Bradford, sentenced to 13 and a half years for four rapes and one count of aiding and abetting rape.

Detective Inspector Vicky Greenbank of Bradford District Police stated:
“We welcome today’s convictions and sentences, which have been a long time coming for the survivor in this case. I would commend her courage and bravery throughout the investigation and court process. These men abused a child in a horrific manner for their own sexual gratification. What they did was abhorrent, and they deserve to spend a long time in prison. This has been a lengthy and complex investigation that has resulted in multiple trials, and I hope today’s outcome will provide the victim with some closure and a sense of justice. I hope these convictions give confidence to anyone who has suffered abuse, no matter how long ago it occurred, to come forward and report it. We will listen to you, and we will ensure that your report is thoroughly investigated.”
Rupert Lowe, leader of the party Restore Britain, recently said in the British Parliament that the authorities in the United Kingdom have a duty to confront the full horror of the abuses committed by Muslim rape gangs and stop “talking” while children continue to be failed.
Lowe used a debate in Westminster Hall to confront Members of Parliament with heart-rending testimony from white girls and women who were raped, tortured, trafficked, and humiliated by migrant gangs, and abandoned by the very authorities that should have protected them.
