25 Sex Predators Jailed for 'Shocking' Rape, Sexual Abuse and Trafficking of Eight Young Girls

A total of 25 men mostly of South Asian descent have been sentenced to a collective 346 years in prison over the “abhorrent in the extreme” rape, sexual abuse, and trafficking of girls between 1999 and 2012 in the North Kirklees area of West Yorkshire.  Listen To Story

Operation Tourway, an investigation starting in 2015 focussing on the towns of Batley and Dewsbury, has jailed 25 men in connection to the “absolutely shocking offending” sexual abuse, rape, and trafficking of eight girls, whom the police said were treated as “defenceless commodities to be abused and traded at whim”.

The arrests took place in late 2018 and all 24 men — mostly of South Asian descent — were charged in December of 2020. The men were found guilty in a series of five trials at the Leeds Crown Court between 2022 and 2024, however, reporting restrictions were only lifted on Friday.

Commenting on the convictions, Detective Chief Inspector Oliver Coates, of the Kirklees Police, said: “Now that reporting restrictions have been lifted we can, for the first time, disclose full details of all those sentenced so far in what has been a long trial process.”

“Throughout the last two years, juries have heard details of absolutely shocking offending committed against victims in these cases.

“Some of these men received in excess of 30 years each for the multiple offences they committed and the unbelievably callous and degrading way in which they treated these then-young girls.

“Men such Asif Ali, who alone was found guilty of 14 rape offences, committed appalling sexual abuse on a scale which can barely be believed, and saw their young victims as defenceless commodities to be abused and traded at whim.”

DCI Coates went on to praise the courage of the women who came forward to report the abuses they suffered as girls, saying: “Their bravery in coming forward and identifying their abusers has allowed us to take action against men whose offending and behaviour can only be described as abhorrent in the extreme.

“Far from being powerless, however, those young women have instead fought back as adults and forced them to account for their crimes. They displayed real courage and determination in giving evidence through what have been lengthy trials and supporting our investigations.

“I hope they can find some closure and satisfaction in knowing they have enabled police and partners to mount a huge and highly difficult investigation which has taken sexual predators off our streets for years to come.”
