Offence Summary

Abdirashid Abdulahi, nicknamed 'Abs', was convicted of rape in relation to a victim in the Bristol Somali gang's teen exploitation ring.

Full Description

Abdirashid Abdulahi, 21, known as 'Abs', was convicted of rape as part of a 13-strong Somali gang's child prostitution operations in Bristol, abusing girls aged 13-17 over two years from 2011.

The second trial at Bristol Crown Court found Abdulahi guilty of one count of rape against Complainant 4, involving grooming and forced sex. Evidence from Avon and Somerset Police included social media and witness statements showing the gang's control tactics.

Abdulahi's rape was among assaults where girls were used 'whenever [men] felt like it', often publicly within the group.
Victims were paid or given drugs, believing it normal due to manipulation.

Sentenced on 28 November 2014, Abdulahi's conviction contributed to 20 charges. Prosecutor Anna Vigars noted elements of exhibitionism and the girls' normalisation of abuse. The jury deliberated extensively.

The full reporting post-trial revealed the probe's reliance on victim courage, with support from specialists like Barnardo’s for recovery.
