The leader of a Telford gang which abused and trafficked girls is back in prison months after being released.

Sex beast Mubarek Ali, 35, was freed in November halfway into a 14-year term, sparking fury from MPs and victims.

He was returned to jail last week for breaching his licence, the Sunday Mirror understands.

One victim told a pal: “We are relieved he’s back inside but what if he’s out again soon?”

Both abused teenagers as young as 13 in Telford, Shropshire, and trafficked them around Britain amid possibly the country’s worst-ever child sex scandal.

The victim also told her pal: “I’ve lived in fear of Mubarek Ali for the last seven months.

"We think he’s coming to get us. He drilled that into us for years and said he’d kill our families and rape our sisters.

“We think he’ll abuse more girls if he is freed. They should jail him for ever.”

The Sunday Mirror found up to 1,000 Telford children may have been groomed.

The failings of two police probes on the scandal are to be examined by an independent inquiry, secured by a campaign we spearheaded with victims.
