Three men who carried out a campaign of sex abuse against a girl with no friends have been jailed for life.

The trio befriended the girl, 14, grooming her by taking her to parties where they would give her drugs and alcohol before making her carry out sexual acts.

On one occasion she fell pregnant when she was raped while comatose because they had got her so drunk.

The girl was so traumatised that it took 10 years before she disclosed what had happened to her.


The court heard that she was extremely vulnerable and believed that they were her friends so felt she could not refuse their demands.

Yesterday Mohammed Karrar, 44, Bassam Karrar, 39, and Anjum Dogar, 36, were all jailed for life after being convicted at Oxford Crown Court in December.



Karrar was given a minimum term of 18 years, Karrar 10 years, and Dogar 20 years for a range of charges including rape.

Senior investigating officer Mark Glover said: ‘These men’s behaviour was predatory, callous and designed purely to sexually exploit a vulnerable teenage girl.

‘She put her trust in them at a time when she felt lonely and friendless. These men pretended to be her friends when in fact they only wanted to subject her to sexual abuse.

‘Their grooming of her was so elaborate that the victim did not realise that she had been groomed until many years later.

‘It is thanks to her courage in talking to police officers and giving evidence during the trial, that these men have been sentenced for their crimes.

‘I know the effect that their actions have had on the victim, and the effect they continue to have on her life and relationships. I hope that their sentencing will help her to continue to move on her with her life.

‘Grooming and sexual abuse destroys lives. If you have been a victim of abuse, even if it did not happen recently, please come forward and report it.

An NSPCC spokesman said: ‘These men subjected a vulnerable young girl to a campaign of vile abuse but her tremendous courage has helped unveil the extent of their abhorrent crimes and ensured they spend longer behind bars where they cannot harm other children.

‘It’s vital that she receives continued help and that all victims of sexual abuse know it is never their fault and that they will be supported when they speak out against the perpetrators.

‘We must all be vigilant to the signs of grooming and act on our concerns by contacting the police or the NSPCC Helpline for advice.’
