THESE are the faces of 24 sexual predators who “traded young girls at whim” in one the UK’s biggest ever child sex abuse rings.
The monsters – jailed for a total of 346 years – committed the worst crimes imaginable against eight then-young girls in West Yorkshire between 1999 and 2012.
Among them are a man whose sex abuse offending was on a scale that “can barely be believed”.
The latest eight were jailed on Friday as part of Operation Tourway, a multi-year investigation into non-recent sexual exploitation of the girls in North Kirklees.
Their conviction means 25 have so far been sentenced for their roles in the rape, sexual abuse and trafficking of the girls, which took place in towns like Batley and Dewsbury.
Three of the ring were jailed for more than 30 years in what West Yorkshire Police described as “absolutely shocking offending”.
24 of them – some of which are smirking in their mugshots – can now be identified for the first time following the lifting of strict reporting restrictions.
They are: Asif Ali, 53, from Batley; Mohammed Tausif Hanif, 39, from Dewsbury; Ali Shah, 38, from Dewsbury; Moshin Nadat, 38, from Heckmondwike and Sarfraz Miraf, 38, from Dewsbury.
Also caged were Mohammed Nazam Nasser, 38, and Amir Ali Hussain, 45, both from Batley.
One man was made subject of a hospital order.
