Mohammed Sajid sentenced in grooming case

Mohammed Sajid, 35, was sentenced to 12 years for rape, six years for conspiracy, one year for trafficking and six years, all concurrent, for sexual activity with a child.

Known as "Saj", he would regularly ply victims with alcohol before having sex with them at his flat, where groups of men would gather and "pass around" the girls.

Gerard Doran, defending, said in mitigation that each of the three victims "maintained that there was no violence used against them by Mohammed Sajid". He will be deported back to Pakistan following the conclusion of his sentence.
