He was convicted of four rapes and one indecent assault. His elder brother Basharat, 40, was also convicted of indecent assault against the same girl at Sheffield Crown Court.

The gang of pedophile rapists

Also convicted were 6 other gang members on a further 10 charges of sexual abuse and facing jail INCLUDING: Mohammed Whied, 32, who was convicted on one count aiding and abetting rape. Waleed Ali, 34, convicted on one count rape and one count indecent assault.

Sageer Hussain,  openly boasted he was racist and told his distraught 13-year-old white victim: “All white girls are good for is sex and they are just sl*gs.”
Prosecutor Michelle Colborne said the victims were “targeted, sexualised and in some instances subjected to attacks of a degrading and violent nature at the hands of these men”.
She said: “These were local girls – some had perfectly normal lives but were lured by the excitement and friendship of older Asian males.”

Naeem Rafiq (L), was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit indecent assault and one count of false imprisonment while Masoued Malik (R), was found guilty of one cpunt rape, one count of conspiracy to commit indecent assault and one of false imprisonment

Sageer played a key role in “befriending young girls who were flattered that he and his friends wanted to spend time with them”, Ms Colborne said.
During the trial, the main complainant, who is now aged 27, revealed that she originally made two complaints to police at age 13 and her family went as far as writing to then Home Secretary, David Blunkett, about the abuse. Cops however, took no action  as South Yorkshire Police lost her clothing and failed to carry out a scientific examination, despite the best efforts of the family.
The victim said she told police in April and October 2003 that she had been raped and physically attacked by Sageer Hussain. She eventually asked for the case to be dropped after her family were subjected to threats by the gang.
Prosecutor Colborne said: “The girl and her family were being subjected to threats and intimidation by those men and were very frightened.
“They sought help from social services and the police.
“They wrote to their Member of Parliament and the Home Secretary.”

Mohammed Whied (left), 32, was found guilty of one count of aiding and abetting rape, Ishtiaq Khaliq (R) was found guilty of one count rape and three counts of indecent assaults. 

According to Ms Colborne, the family eventually had to move away from South Yorkshire to Spain to get away from the abuse. The victim later worked with victims of sexual exploitation and wrote a book about the subject, as well as appearing in a TV documentary.
In 2013, she went back to the police to reaffirm the allegations she had made a decade previously.
The trial heard Hussain used the main complainant for “his own gratification and passed her to friends, older brothers and associates”.
Hussain’s cousins Mohammed Whied and Asif Ali, as well as his older brother Basharat Hussain, were also involved in the gang’s abuse of the girl.
Ms Colborne added: “In the space of months, she had gone from being a normal happy child from a stable supportive family to one who was secretive and distant.
“Her mother watched her daughter change from a loving, lovely girl to one she describes as horrible and she was powerless to control it.”

Naeem Rafiq (L), was convicted on one count of conspiracy to commit indecent assault and one count false imprisonment. Asif Ali (R)was convicted on one count rape.

Ms Colborne said the girl live a “life of deceit and fear” after being lured into it by the gang.The plaintiff said: “They told her she owed them something because they had given her cigarettes, alcohol and cannabis.
“As time moved on, the threats became nasty in nature. They threatened to gang-rape her mother and they made it clear they were serious.”
The prosecution said on one occasion, two of the defendants, Masoued Malik and Naeem Rafiq, took their victim to the apartment of a man described by the girl as a ‘Kosovan refugee’ called Zalgai Ahmadi where she was forced to perform sex acts on a number of men.
Other incidents on record occurred once in an alleyway by town center and at a Park in the town.
Sageer and the other six members of the gang will be sentenced on November 4 along with his brother Basharat Hussain, who was convicted of indecent assault.
Sarah Champion, Member of Parliament representing Rotherham, commented on the convictions praised the victims on their dogged quest for justice: “I would firstly like to state my absolute admiration and thanks to the survivors for coming forward.
“These young women have been trying for years to be heard, now a judge, and indeed the country, has heard the horror you endured and justice has been served.
“Their courage and bravery will inspire others and we should all be grateful for that.”
