Offence Summary

Tahir Hussain engaged in sexual activity with a child twice, abusing a 14-year-old boy as part of a Birmingham prostitution and sex abuse ring.

Full Description

Tahir Hussain, 34, from St Josephs Road, Ward End, Birmingham, was sentenced to seven years imprisonment for two counts of sexual activity with a child. His offences were part of a larger child sex ring that targeted a 14-year-old boy in local authority care during 2009 and 2010, prosecuted at Warwick Crown Court after a three-month trial.

The victim was lured into prostitution by Stephen Kelly after being found begging, enduring rapes, beatings, and public exploitation in Birmingham. Hussain directly sexually abused the boy on two occasions amid the group's coordinated efforts. Early complaints to police were overlooked, but the 2012 report led to arrests and convictions.

Hussain's repeated acts contributed to the systematic abuse.
The court focused on the vulnerability of the care system runaway.

The judge stated: 'You are each partly responsible for his situation as a young man who is struggling to get his life back together.' Assistant Chief Constable Carl Foulkes of West Midlands Police called the crimes 'horrific' and highlighted procedural improvements. An additional victim was identified in connection with Ronald Potter's earlier assault.
