Rochdale Sex Abuse: Nine Men Charged
Nine men from Rochdale have been charged following an investigation into child sexual exploitation.
The charges relate to offences committed separately against one teenage girl in the Rochdale area by different men between 2008 and 2009.
Greater Manchester Police say the victim was traced as part of a separate investigation which resulted in nine men being jailed in May for running a child exploitation ring in the Heywood area of Rochdale.
Their trial at Liverpool Crown Court heard the group had plied their vulnerable underage victims with alcohol and drugs and passed them around for sex.
The police say this latest investigation, which has led to nine other men being charged, is different in nature as there are no allegations of trafficking.
Freddy Kendakumana, 26, has been charged with three counts of rape, attempted rape and four counts of sexual activity with a child under 16.
Roheez Khan, 26, has been charged with ten counts of sexual activity with a child under 16. Chola Chansa, 32, has been charged with two counts of sexual activity with a child under 16.
Ali Asghar Hussain Shah, 39, Anjam Masood, 30, Mohammed Rafiq, 31, and Asrar Haider, 38 have all been charged with sexual activity and inciting sexual activity with a child under 16.
Abdul Huk, 36, and Mohammed Ali, 27, have been charged with sexual activity with a child under 16.
All the men have been bailed and will appear before Bury Magistrates Court on various dates between November and December.
Lynne Jones, Chair of Rochdale Borough Safeguarding Children Board, said: "The board has been working very hard to ensure vulnerable children and young people are protected from all forms of abuse.
"Together with Rochdale Borough Council, Greater Manchester Police, the Crown Prosecution Service, the NHS and our other members we have clear strategies in place to combat child sexual exploitation, which sadly is happening in most towns and cities."

All child abusers are vermin. What worries me is that there seems to be a pattern emerging concerning groups of asian men and underage white girls which no one is prepared to address for fear of racial sensitivities.

That is not accurate, no religion or no decent people encourage this kind of behaviour. Wrong is wrong and thease filthy sc um element need to be punished so harshly that no one ever dare do this again

on tour in egypt quite a few years ago, our egyptian guide told us that there was a crime wave beginning to appear, where women were being kidnapped and forced into sex. he said at the time that there was no name for it in there law or holy book. as it was being looked on as the beginning of an epidemic, after much deliberation, the islamic judges decided that to stop it they would sentance the perpetrators to death. BEGINNING with the first lot jailed. startng from the first one hanged, the crime stopped ???? pity we don't have it here for child sex offfendersand all murderers.

That was the first thing I thought of. But their brief will have argued that they are all upstanding members of our UK society.

Well said Dave, there can be no excuse accepted for not investigating even if the police get accused of racism, because there is a pattern emerging, two groups of 9 from one small area is disturbing.

"Together with Rochdale Borough Council, Greater Manchester Police, the Crown Prosecution Service, the NHS and our other members we have clear strategies in place to combat child sexual exploitation, which sadly is happening in most towns and cities." It makes me wonder just how much the authorities are keeping from us, with the above quote.

Theres a common component here like it or not. Your comment reminds me of that youngish black MP - In PMQ almost broke his neck to get to the microphone to say that - "it wasnt all blacks involved in the riots - " LOL - To understand racism properly you need to an immigrant in another country for a while - Just because people moan and complain about the actions of immigrants doesn't make them racist.

Jimmy. I agree we shouldn't lose sight of the many whites who prey on children. I just find it odd that you are quite happy to crucify the corpse of Saville and yet rush to defend this lot of similar abusers
