A grandfather was revealed as the paedophile who sold children for sex in a 'Rape House' where perverts queued down the stairs to abuse youngsters.

Shahzad 'Keith' Khan ran the peadophile ring from an ex-council house in Telford, West Midlands, where he sold girls for up to £2,000 a night.

Police were tipped off about him in 1996, but he continued to run his depraved business, taking a 14-year-old's virginity and picking up one of his sex slaves from outside a police station.

Another chance to catch Khan fell through in 2013, when a police case against him collapsed, Mirror Online reports.

Today brave survivors of his abuse exposed the terrifying ordeals he put young girls through.

One victim described feeling 'dead inside' as she was sold for up to £2,000 in the house, where Khan's nephew and son would regularly stay. Both have been jailed for sex offences.

The brazen paedophile was described as a 'generous' bird enthusiast who'd overcome cancer in the local paper as he ran his ring.

A female neighbour approached police in 1996 with fears that he was selling youngsters for sex after she claimed to witness him picking up a 12-year-old from a children's home.

She added that the grandfather had offered her brother the chance to have sex with underage girls but says 'nothing was done' and police ruled out prosecution 'as they'd never have enough evidence'.

No charges were filed against Khan even after he was later reported again to police.

But testimony from victims reveal the teenager whose virginity Khan took was abused within hours of undergoing an abortion.

She said she didn't understand what grooming was and was snared by Khan after he approached her in the street.

'He told me because I had a reputation anyway I might as well get paid for it,' she said. 'He told me about all of these older girls I knew from school and how they were doing it too and making loads of money.'

The girl was abused for three years and left in a suicidal state after being forced to have sex with men in fast food takeaways, restaurants and houses.

Now a woman in her 30's, she said she was 'forced to have sex with nine men in a row' one night and was even trafficked to Birmingham to be abused.

She said as one man raped her, others would be queued up on the stairs and Khan would approach winners in betting shops offering them sex with children.

He would hand his victims £30 of what he made after charging them for petrol expenses.

Girls would be punished if 'clients' failed to finish quickly as Khan waited in his Mercedes outside.

When the girl turned 18, she fled to Birmingham after an unsuccessful suicide attempt.

Another victim was left hooked on heroin after she was abused by Pakistani men who got her into drugs, which Khan would later supply her with.

The woman - who is also aged in her 30s now - is has overcome her heroin addiction but says she is still traumatised by what happened in the house, where Khan's then teenage son Shahmeel would watch porn and perform sex acts in from of the girls.

He was jailed for raping an A-level student and for armed robbery. Khan's nephew nephew Mohammed Ali Sultan sold the girl's number to other men. He was caged for seven years after admitting abusing two girls, one of whom was just 13 years old.

After he was jailed in 2012, he was locked up for another six years in 2015 for two rapes and one attempted rape.

But Khan died aged 61 in 2015, without ever facing justice over the sex abuse ring he ran.

After moving to the UK from Pakistan, he targeted girls as early as 1981 when he was in his 20s.

He raped a 15-year-old and even had a child with her after hooking up with another alleged sex offender.

In 2010, the girl who was sold for £2,000 a night spoke to officers linked to Operation Chalice, which found about 100 victims.

Despite nearly 200 suspects being identified, just seven men were jailed in 2012.

The girl was assigned her own team under the investigation Operation Signal due to the level of detail she gave on abuse including more than 100 paedophiles. But her case collapsed before it could be brought to court.
