THE vile king of an Asian sex gang that preyed on white schoolgirls was
unmasked yesterday — as he was convicted of raping another victim THIRTY
times.
Beast Shabir Ahmed, 59, was the ringleader whose name was withheld when nine
Muslim perverts were caged last month for a total of 77 years.
He alone got 19 years — but the father of four was not identified for fear a
jury would be swayed when he was hauled into the dock again for
stomach-churning crimes against just one little girl.
The brute smirked as six men and six women on a jury that included two Asians
found him guilty.
All reporting restrictions were lifted by Judge Mushtaq Khokhar at Manchester
Crown Court — including those imposed when the brute was jailed last month
in Liverpool.
It can now be revealed how during that trial the divorced cabbie, whose
Rochdale gang targeted girls as young as nine to groom for sex:
SCOFFED that victims were telling “white lies”.
SNEERED that the girls — who knew him by the nickname “Daddy” — were so
conniving and clever “they would probably win The Apprentice”.
EXPOSED his naked torso in the dock and threw a lump of chest hair on
the floor, saying of one victim: “She would have seen this.”
At his second trial — which lasted a week — Ahmed put a curse on the court and
everyone in it.
He made no secret of being the infamous “59-year-old man” in the Rochdale sex
ring but told the jury: “We were all innocent. No Pakistani went knocking on
doors saying, ‘Have you got any young girls? Can we have sex with them?’ ”
The judge tried warning him he was destroying his own protective legal shield.
Ahmed — a former Oldham council worker who used to advise immigrants about
benefits — snarled: “There is nothing I or my fellow convicted people have
to fear.”
He told the two cops flanking him: “I hope you rot in hell like me.”
Last night Det Chief Supt Mary Doyle said of the case: “I hope it gives other
victims of abuse the confidence to trust in the police.” She praised the
latest victim who came forward for her “phenomenal bravery”.
The traumatised Asian girl said Ahmed first raped her when she was so small
she used a chair to reach a sink. Her hell continued for ten years.
Once while he was raping her she muttered under her breath “sex maniac” — and
he giggled: “That’s what I am.”
Yesterday he was led back to jail and will be sentenced next month.
