Leeds man jailed for 24 years for sexual abuse of young girl
The 56 year old was convicted of 10 different offences
A Leeds man is starting a 24 year prison sentence after being convicted of the sexual abuse of a young girl.
56 year old Khalid Hussain was arrested after a victim came forward in March 2020 to report being assaulted between the years 2010 and 2014.
Hussain went on trial at Leeds Crown Court last October and was sentenced earlier today for 10 offences, including 5 counts of rape.
DC Bernadette Cooper, of West Yorkshire Police said: “The victim in this case has shown incredible bravery in coming forward and making the report to police.
“It has been an incredibly long and challenging time for her and she has not wavered in her support for the investigation to allow us to investigate this matter objectively and robustly.
“Hussain’s offences have quite simply been appalling and we welcome his sentencing today.
“We always encourage all victims of sexual assault to come forwards, no matter how long ago offending took place.
“All reports are thoroughly and sympathetically investigated, and we can also help link victims with partner agencies for any support they may need.”
