Ahmed, of Stoke-on-Trent, denied two charges of rape of a child under 13 and two charges of assaulting a child by penetration. He was found guilty of all four charges.
Paul Cliff, mitigating, asked Judge Sally Hancox to take into account Ahmed’s previous good character; his limited understanding of the offences; and his ‘extreme youth’ at the time of the offending.
Mr Cliff said: “He had only just become capable of obtaining criminal legal responsibility. Custody is a last resort when one is dealing with the sentence of a child, although he is now 20 years of age.

Holy shit. Did anyone look into what the hell was happening in that boy’s home?

This is awful but Why has it taken 9 years to sentence? And why was he remanded? There’s a big gap in this story.

What a sad case, all that damage done by a child to other children.

When I was 11 I don’t think my interests extended beyond Sonic 3 and kicking a football around. What the hell was going on with this kid?

God this is such a difficult situation.
I’m a victim of cocsa (child on child sexual assault), and the perpetrator was a similar age to this boy. Balancing holding these kids to account and the compassion asked of us by their age is a near impossible task.
I feel so so sorry for the victims. I know how this will haunt them.

Is it just me or this taking 9 years to get to court very odd. Especially given the grooming gang cover ups in many towns across the country for the sake of “community cohesion”.
