MAJUD HUSSAIN, NOTTINGHAM POLICE OFFICER, JAILED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULTS IN NOTTINGHAM AND STAPLEFORD
In a disturbing case that has shocked the Nottingham community, Majud Hussain, a police officer based in Nottingham, has been convicted and sentenced for serious sexual offenses involving two teenage girls.The incident unfolded after Hussain, aged 41, completed his shift with Leicestershire Police on the night of July 16, 2017, and subsequently drove to Long Eaton, a town near Nottingham, where he encountered two young girls walking through the town centre.
According to court records, Hussain approached the teenagers and falsely claimed to be a firefighter.
He then persuaded them to accompany him to a nearby McDonald's restaurant, where he bought them food.
After spending some time there, he dropped off the younger girl, aged 14, at her home, but the situation took a darker turn with the older girl, aged 17.
Instead of returning her to her friend's residence, Hussain drove her to a street in Stapleford, a suburb close to Nottingham, where he committed a sexual assault in the back of his vehicle.
The assault was captured on CCTV footage, which provided crucial evidence for the investigation.
The following day, the 17-year-old girl’s friend contacted the police, raising concerns about her whereabouts and the events of the previous night.
Authorities quickly identified Hussain through CCTV and other forensic evidence collected from the scene.
The investigation confirmed his involvement in the assault, leading to his arrest and subsequent trial at Nottingham Crown Court.
During the trial, Hussain was found guilty of two counts of assault by penetration on a female over the age of 13 and two counts of sexual assault on a female.
Hussain was sentenced to seven years in prison for his crimes.
The court also announced that he would face a Gross Misconduct hearing, which could lead to his dismissal from the police force.
Hussain’s actions have not only resulted in a lengthy prison sentence but have also severely damaged his reputation and career as a law enforcement officer.
The case has sparked discussions about safeguarding and the conduct of police officers in Nottingham and beyond.
