He was indicted for rape of a young boy and the attempted rape of a young girl. Sheffield Crown Court heard the second sexual misconduct occurred in Rotherham when he was fairly younger.
The 64-year-old, who showed up under a name of Nazir Ahmed, had denied the charges.

“By these decisions the jury has obviously concluded that regardless of the postponement between the offenses and the preliminary, and the safeguards raised, they could be certain that the records of the casualties were solid and valid. One of these respondents stood firm on a foothold of force, impact and obligation regarding a few time in the House of Lords yet this case plainly delineates that where there is adequate proof, even in testing cases, the CPS will bring an arraignment, put proof before a jury and see legitimate feelings.”
