Description
A Rugby man has been found guilty of multiple non-recent sexual offences including indecent assault and gross indecency.
Abed Hussain abused his victim when he was in a position of authority over the teenage boy on three separate occasions in 1993.
After reporting the abuse in 2024, an investigation began and the 69-year-old was arrested. He was subsequently charged with:
- four counts of gross indecency with a boy under 14
- four counts of indecent assault on a boy under 14
- one count of committing buggery with a boy under 16
Hussain denied any wrongdoing but was eventually found guilty by a jury of all nine counts at a trial earlier this month. He will be sentenced at Warwick Crown Court on 18 August.
Investigating officer, Detective Constable Ben Filipinski, from our Domestic Abuse, Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Team said:
“Coming forward to disclose offences of this nature takes a huge amount of bravery. I want to thank the victim in this case for their strength and commitment throughout the investigation.
“It was a dreadful ordeal for him to have to go through when he should have been free to enjoy his childhood. By speaking out, even after so many years, he has made sure Hussain will face the consequences of his actions.
“I would encourage anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault to come forward and speak to us. We will listen to you, and we will investigate."
