The religious studies teacher at a local mosque asked a 15-year-victim if she had any younger friends and would drive some of the girls to other men, who would use them for sex, despite knowing they were under-age.

Zarif Khan, in mitigation, told the judge that Rauf's fall from grace was "particularly significant".
