SHEFFIELD RAPIST JASIM MOHAMMED SENTENCED TO 25 YEARS FOR BRUTAL ABUSE
A gang of evil men who sexually exploited and raped a Sheffield girl when she was just 15 years old have been jailed for 70 years.Jasim Mohammed, Nzar Anwar, Kawan Ahmed and Shangar Ibrahimi, who were said to have treated the vulnerable youngster as “a piece of meat”, were all found guilty by a jury of raping the youngster between 2010 and 2012.
Another defendant - Saba Mohammed - was found not guilty of rape but jailed for perverting the course of justice.
The victim, who had already suffered abuse as a child prior to 2010, revealed in a victim impact statement read out by prosecutor Peter Hampton how she is still reeling from the impact of the rapes which had and continue to have a “devastating” impact on her life.
The woman, who is now in her 20s, said: “This has scarred me for life and the experiences will never leave me.
This has had a devastating impact on my life.
My childhood was robbed and because of the trauma I’ve ended up with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety and emotionally unstable personality disorder.
I have flashbacks of all the abuse I suffered and because of what happened I don’t sleep, I don’t eat and I’ve felt suicidal in the past.
I have scars from the injuries I’ve suffered in the past and I suffer on a daily basis because of how my childhood was controlled and managed by these men.” Judge Michael Slater described the complainant as an “extremely vulnerable and troubled young girl”.
She was referred to social services at a young age and arrived in Sheffield as “lonely and friendless having been rejected by her family”.
These vulnerabilities were exploited and she was effectively pimped out by a woman called Amanda Spencer who introduced her to the group of Kurdish men who would go on to rape her.
A social worker who knew the victim said: “She just wanted people to like her and love her.
She has very complex issues dating back to childhood.
She would try to cling on to anyone who tried to be nice to her and she could not see that some people did not have her best interests at heart.” The impact this has had on my life is devastating.

The sentencing announced by Judge Slater included 25 years for Jasim Mohammed, who raped the victim 10 times over a 10-month period.
Kawan Ahmed received an 18-year prison sentence for two rapes, Nzar Anwar was jailed for 15 years for one rape and perverting the course of justice, Shangar Ibrahimi was given 12 years for one count of rape, and Saba Mohammed was sentenced to four years for perverting the course of justice.
The judge commended the victim for her bravery, acknowledging the difficult circumstances and her participation in the trial process.
All five defendants showed no emotions as their sentences were announced, and they were also handed restraining orders preventing contact with the victim indefinitely.
