Haji Naim Khan

A large-scale police operation in Oxford targeted a child sexual exploitation ring, with more than 150 officers raiding 11 properties early on Tuesday morning. The investigation relates to offences against two girls from 2000 to 2004, including rape, trafficking, and kidnapping. Haji Naim Khan, 36, from The Willows, Oxford, was one of five men formally charged.

Khan faces serious allegations: one count of kidnap, one count of conspiracy to rape, and one count of trafficking for sexual exploitation. These charges indicate his role in abducting and facilitating the sexual abuse of the victims, as part of a conspiracy that exploited the girls over an extended period. The case draws attention to systemic failures in protecting vulnerable children during that era.

• Charges against Haji Naim Khan:
• Kidnap (1 count)
• Conspiracy to rape (1 count)
• Trafficking for sexual exploitation (1 count)

Khan appeared at Oxford Magistrates' Court shortly after his arrest and was remanded in custody, scheduled for Oxford Crown Court on 18 November 2016. The operation involved detailed pre-raid briefings, as captured in images of officers preparing in a warehouse. According to reports from the BBC, this investigation aims to hold accountable those responsible for the long-term grooming and abuse of the victims, with Khan's charges central to the proceedings.
