| Red Rose Database
Huddersfield Grooming Gang Member
Nasarat Hussain, a 33-year-old man from Huddersfield, who is already serving a substantial 17-year prison sentence for his involvement in a notorious grooming gang, has been sentenced to an additional two years behind bars. This new sentence was handed down at Leeds Crown Court on 2 March, following Hussain’s guilty plea to charges of attempted rape involving a teenage girl in Huddersfield dating back to 2004.
Hussain’s criminal history is extensive and deeply troubling. He was convicted in 2018 of multiple sexual offences, including three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. These convictions were part of Operation Tendersea, a comprehensive police investigation into juvenile sexual abuse that took place in Huddersfield between 2004 and 2011. His involvement in this case marked him as a key figure in a disturbing pattern of exploitation and abuse targeting vulnerable young females in the area.
The recent court proceedings revealed that Hussain’s criminal activities extended beyond his previous convictions. He admitted to attempting to rape a teenage girl in Huddersfield in 2004, a crime that further underscores the severity of his offending. The judge’s decision to impose an additional two-year sentence reflects the gravity of his actions and the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to hold offenders accountable.
Detective Chief Inspector Ian Thornes of Kirklees District Police commented on the case, emphasizing that Hussain’s current sentence will be served consecutively to his existing 17-year term. Thornes stated, “This sentence will be served on top of the lengthy jail term he has been imprisoned for since 2018 and it will be a number of years before he is even considered for release.”
Thornes also highlighted the broader context of the case, noting that Hussain was one of 20 men convicted for their roles in what he described as “the truly dreadful exploitation of vulnerable young females.” He expressed hope that the significant sentences handed down serve as a stark warning to others contemplating similar crimes, and as a message of reassurance to victims that justice is being served.
The police official further urged victims who have not yet come forward to seek justice, acknowledging the courage of those who have already spoken out. The case continues to serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against grooming and sexual exploitation in Huddersfield and beyond.
