Anwar Ali, 33, preyed on the youngster when he was just five years old when he suggested he play the computer games with him in his bedroom. The youngster's ordeal between 2003 and 2007 only ended when he moved away. He went to police last year after experiences with sleepless nights and suffering with Obsessive compulsive disorder which causes him to scrub his skin so hard when washing it would be 'red raw.' Officers went to Ali's home in Hyde, Greater Manchester and found indecent images of children on his computer. At Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester, he was found guilty of five counts of rape of a child aged under 12, four counts of sexual assault by penetration of a child under the age of 12 and two counts of accessing indecent images of children. He is now impotent. The court heard Ali was 18 when he met the victim after the lad moved into his neighbourhood.

David Bentley prosecuting said: "The defendant's bedroom had a Playstation and Xbox and the complainant would be invited into the bedroom with the defendant to play video games. But during 2003, when the complainant was only five years old, he approached him from behind and kissing him. It then progressed further over the next four years." The court heard on one occasion the boy's mother went upstairs to Ali's bedroom and knocked on the door to check if her son was okay unaware he was being abused inside. Ali denied wrongdoing at a trial earlier this year. In a statement the victim said: "I felt like I could trust Anwar but he stole my childhood. "I have developed OCD and wash myself to the point that my skin is red raw. I have found it difficult to cope with normal experiences and I don't like it when people touch me. The trial has brought everything back for me." Sentencing Judge Tina Landale told Ali: "This was a campaign of sexual abuse which took place in your bedroom. You enticed him into your bedroom with the promise of playing video games and I described it as a campaign because that there were more than 100 incidents. He says it was sometime more than once a week. "You kept your family in the dark with your sexual interest in young boys and you continued to rape and sexually abuse him. The impact of your abuse on him has had long lasting consequences. He says that you have stolen his childhood and he doesn't like it when people touch him.
