Rochdale child sex abuse ring paedophile Qari Abdul Rauf filmed leaving his home on street ‘packed with young kids and families’

TERRIFIED parents have filmed Rochdale child groomer Qari Abdul Rauf leaving his family home as neighbours say they fear for the safety of their children.

The 46-year-old was freed from prison earlier this year after serving half his six-year sentence for abusing youngsters in the "Three Girls" town.

The sex beast is allowed regular weekend visits to see his wife and five kids who live in a road packed with families.

Residents say the street has become eerily silent as parents have stopped children playing football or riding their bikes when the paedophile is back in the community.

Members of action group  – Parents Against Grooming - set up to prevent further sex scandals in the town filmed him leaving the property but claim they have PREVENTED violent attacks against him.

One said: “We are peaceful and respectful but we believe he’s a danger to young girls so we feel we are within our rights to see what he is up to now he’s back in the community.

“In fact, we are protecting him because we’ve talked a few young lads down from having a go at him.”

Rauf is fighting deportation to Pakistan following his release.

The vile dad-of-five is using taxpayers’ cash to fight an extradition order to send him home to Pakistan.

When he visits the area the sick sex offender often attempts to hide his face from angry locals under a baseball cap.

Tensions are running high in the town following the BBC three-part drama about the grooming scandal called Three Girls.

The former taxi driver was jailed in 2012 for trafficking and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child.

In court the 46-year-old admitted he had sex with an underage girl in his taxi.

Another girl told the jury he had sex with her 20-30 times.

Rauf is one of four men from the child sex abuse gang continuing to battle against being deported to Pakistan five years after being ordered out of Britain.

Police say Rauf is allowed occasional visits to his family but was not allowed to stay there.

A police spokesman said: “Anyone who has served time is subject to license. All we can do is monitor conditions.”

Gang leader Shabir Ahmed along with Rauf, Adil Khan and Abdul Aziz are taking their fight to the Court of Appeal to avoid being booted out following their convictions.

Their costly Legal Aid fund is being bankrolled by the taxpayer.

The Court of Appeal has granted permission for them to contest their deportation to Pakistan, but a date for the hearing has not yet been set.
