Raheem Ahmed

In a sweeping child sexual exploitation probe, Thames Valley Police deployed more than 150 officers for early morning raids across 11 sites in Oxford. The investigation centres on crimes against two girls from 2000 to 2004, encompassing various sexual offences. Raheem Ahmed, 39, from Starwort Path, Oxford, was one of five individuals charged in the case.

Ahmed faces three counts of indecent assault, charges that allege he directly carried out unlawful sexual acts against the victims as part of the exploitation network. These offences are indicative of the physical and repeated nature of the abuse endured by the girls over the years.

Ahmed was remanded in custody following his court appearance at Oxford Magistrates' Court and is set to appear at Oxford Crown Court on 18 November 2016. The raids were supported by pre-operation briefings, ensuring a thorough search for evidence. As reported by the BBC, this operation addresses long-standing allegations of child abuse in the region, with Ahmed's charges contributing to the comprehensive legal action against the perpetrators. Four other suspects were bailed pending further inquiry.
