AFRAZ ASIF FROM LEYLAND SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT ON 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN FRONT OF FRIENDS

In a recent court ruling, Afraz Shoaib Asif, a 32-year-old resident of Leyland, has been sentenced to serve 21 months in prison following his conviction for a serious sexual assault involving a 12-year-old girl. The incident took place in a public street within Leyland, where Asif, under the influence of alcohol, approached the young girl and engaged in inappropriate behavior.

According to court records, Asif touched the girl in a sexually inappropriate manner and made lewd comments, actions that were witnessed by her friends. The court heard that the assault was not an isolated incident but part of a pattern of misconduct, as Asif has prior convictions related to similar offenses. His history of criminal behavior was a significant factor in the sentencing decision.

Furthermore, the court mandated that Asif must remain on the sex offenders register for a period of ten years, reflecting the severity of his actions and the ongoing risk he poses to the community. In addition to the prison sentence, Asif was subjected to a five-year restraining order, which prohibits him from approaching or contacting the victim or her family.

Initially, Asif denied the allegations, but after a thorough trial, he was found guilty of the charges brought against him. The case has drawn considerable attention within the Leyland community, highlighting the importance of safeguarding vulnerable minors and ensuring that offenders are held accountable for their actions.
