FIVE members of a sadistic paedophile sex ring have been handed life sentences for exploiting young girls.
The men, including two sets of brothers, were convicted of a string of brutal crimes against their victims.
A five-month trial at the Old Bailey heard the Oxford-based gang sexually exploited girls as young as 11. They were found guilty of a catalogue of offences against the vulnerable underage girls, including rape, trafficking and organising prostitution, last month.
Andrew Akhtar Dogar, 32, and William Anjum Dogar, 31, were told they had been found guilty of "exceptionally grave crimes" as they were jailed for a minimum of 17 years.
Co-defendant Nigel Kamar Jamil, 27, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 12 years. The judge Peter Rook told him: "I accept that you were a follower rather than a leader, the leadership role was played by the Dogar brothers." |
