JAVED AKHTER FROM WALSALL SENTENCED TO 11 YEARS FOR PUPIL RAPE IN SHOCKING CRIME

In a disturbing case that has sent shockwaves through the community of Walsall, Javed Akhter, a local teacher, has been sentenced to a total of 11 years in prison after being found guilty of raping one of his pupils on two separate occasions. The heinous crimes took place over a span of five years, beginning when the girl was just 11 years old, and involved a series of sexual assaults that have left a lasting impact on the victim and her family.

Javed Akhter, aged 47, who resides on Charlotte Road in Walsall, was considered a respected and trusted figure within the local Muslim community. His reputation as an educator and community member was seemingly unblemished until the allegations and subsequent conviction revealed a darker side. The victim, one of approximately 100 children attending classes at the school where Akhter taught, became the focus of his obsessive behavior. His fixation on her grew over time, culminating in two separate instances of sexual assault.

The court heard that Akhter’s actions were deliberate and predatory, targeting a young girl who was vulnerable and impressionable. The assaults began when she was only 11 years old, and over the course of five years, he carried out a string of sex attacks that have now been brought to justice. The jury, after careful deliberation, unanimously convicted Akhter on all charges, confirming the severity of his crimes.

Despite his standing in the community, the court did not show leniency, and Akhter was sentenced to serve 11 years behind bars. The case has sparked widespread condemnation and has raised concerns about safeguarding and the protection of children within educational environments. The victim and her family have expressed relief that justice has been served, but the scars of the abuse are expected to remain for years to come.
