ABSLAN NADLI FROM BIRMINGHAM JAILED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT ON 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL
In a disturbing case that has shocked the Birmingham community, Abslan Nadli, a 35-year-old shop worker from Stratford Road, Hall Green, has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for luring a 12-year-old girl to his residence with the intent of engaging in sexual activity.Nadli, an illegal immigrant, had previously admitted to inciting a child to participate in sexual acts, a revelation that has added to the gravity of his conviction.
The incident took place on the afternoon of January 12 this year, when the young girl was returning home after attending a dance class.
She entered a local newsagent on Stratford Road, where Nadli was working alongside another employee.
Realizing she did not have any money, she left the shop but soon became aware that she was being followed.
Turning around, she saw Nadli behind her, and he gestured for her to follow him into an alleyway.
Believing that Nadli had something to show her, the girl complied and followed him up a flight of stairs, entering a room located above the shops.
It was there that Nadli began to ask her personal questions about her preferences, specifically whether she liked boys and if she wanted to have sex.
During this encounter, Nadli handed her £2 and instructed her not to tell anyone about what had transpired.
Despite his warnings, the girl confided in her father about the incident, raising serious concerns about her safety and well-being.
Judge Stuart Rafferty QC presided over the case at Birmingham Crown Court.
In his sentencing remarks, he expressed his firm belief that Nadli’s questions were solely motivated by a desire to have sexual intercourse with the young girl.
The judge acknowledged the girl’s bravery in maintaining her composure and attempting to escape from the flat, despite the intimidating circumstances.
He stated, “I am satisfied that the only reason you were asking those questions is that you wanted to have sexual intercourse with her.
With commendable calmness and courage in the circumstances she said no and tried to get out of the flat.” While Nadli eventually allowed the girl to leave, the judge emphasized that the damage had already been inflicted.
The girl returned home visibly distressed and fearful, her confidence severely shaken by the ordeal.
The court heard that her experience left her deeply traumatized, and her sense of safety was profoundly affected.
Prosecutor Jane Sarginson detailed the events, highlighting the predatory nature of Nadli’s actions and the impact on the young victim.
The defense, represented by William Dudley, argued that Nadli was not a predator but rather someone who was naive and misinterpreted the girl’s friendliness.
Dudley claimed that Nadli had “read too much into that” and sought to portray him as less culpable, though the court’s verdict clearly reflected the seriousness of his actions.
