YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Ben Kentish is joined by the CEO of Freedom From Abuse Marilyn Hawes.

Mohammed Zahid, 64, was nicknamed 'Boss Man' as the leader of the grooming gang, has been jailed for 35 years.

The father-of-three was one of seven men convicted in June for the string of attacks.

Members of his grooming gang carried out the offences in various locations, including filthy flats, cars, car parks, alleyways, disused warehouses and on rancid mattresses across the Greater Manchester town, a court heard.

Some of the men groomed the victims while working at an old market stall in the town, which Zahid ran.
