The abuse occurred between 2001 and 2010, targeting girls aged 12 to 16. Iqbal was part of the first investigation launched in 2016, focusing on offences from 2006 to 2009.

The second trial commenced in January 2022 at Bradford Crown Court, where Iqbal was found guilty of rape. Conviction details were shared after court restrictions were removed on Wednesday.
