Two men have been jailed for raping a teenage girl in Rotherham more than two decades ago.
Detectives investigated the men as part of Operation Stovewood, the investigation into grooming and child sexual abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013.by the prosecution – including victims’ video-recorded interviews, corroborating witness statements and positive identifications of the defendants – the jury found the defendants guilty. Sheffield Crown Court heard in July that after Makhmood raped the girl, he called her demeaning names, spat at her and laughed at her.
The pair were sentenced at the same court on Monday after being found guilty alongside another man, Sageer Hussain, in the summer.
