Description
Mohammed Naveed, 42, a Bradford barber, was jailed for nine years after locking a boy in his shop's back room, pinning him down, and raping him when the boy refused to "work for" free cannabis.
Bradford Crown Court heard the unidentified boy had previously received cannabis from Naveed. He was also separately abused by Muhammed Afsan, 43, of Lynfield Drive, Bradford, who committed sex offences against him in his Audi car. Afsan received eight years, plus time for breaching a 2022 sexual risk order by having the boy and a 15-year-old girl in his car twice.
The girl was sexually assaulted by Naveed in the back room, where he demanded she remove her clothes and tried pulling off her top—stopped when the boy intervened.
Prosecutor Louise Reevell noted Naveed's jury convictions for rape, sexual communication with a child, paying for sexual services, sexual assault, and engaging in sexual activity in a child's presence. The boy was "rewarded" with vapes, money, and £20 for oral sex for sharing photos.
Afsan was convicted of penetrative sexual activity with a child, breaching the order, and sexual activity in a child's presence.
The boy's victim impact statement described sleepless nights and nightmares. Recorder Patrick Palmer said: “You must both understand your offending is serious offending which obviously warrants immediate sentences of imprisonment."
Both face lifelong sexual harm prevention orders and sex offender registration.
