Mother of Oxford grooming sex gang pair blames their VICTIMS: She says schoolgirls 'should have been playing with toys'

Mother of brothers Akhtar and Anjum Dogar blames their victims

Mrs Dogar claimed one of the abuse victims was not 'pressurised'

The mother of two members of the Oxford child sex abuse gang has blamed the schoolgirls for the ordeal they suffered, saying ‘they were having sex at the age of ten instead of playing with toys’.



She defended her sons – Akhtar, 32, and Anjum Dogar, 31 – and claimed they were innocent after they were found guilty of a catalogue of vile offences last week.



Mrs Dogar, believed to be called Bashira, accused the police, social services and the girls themselves of being complicit in creating Britain’s ‘grooming culture’.

The two brothers were part of a group of mainly Asian men who groomed girls as young as 11 before giving them drugs and carrying out humiliating attacks, then hiring them out for sex with others.



But Mrs Dogar told the Daily Star: ‘These girls should be playing with toys. If they start [having sex] at ten, by 15 they are proper ladies.’

Speaking from her home in Oxford, the Dogars’ mother said they were innocent. She said one of the girls was looking for a boy at a station in London and no one had pressured her into having sex.



She added: ‘On the news they say the girls went from Oxford to London on the train. Are they not old enough then? Nobody can feel sorry for them unless they’re sorry themselves.’



Mrs Dogar said that in a Muslim community girls focus on study, and questioned why the authorities allowed it to happen.

Akhtar and Anjum Dogar were both found guilty of multiple counts of rape, three counts of conspiracy to rape, two counts of arranging child prostitution and trafficking a child for sexual exploitation. They are due to be sentenced in June along with five other men.



The trial heard that the brothers helped organise ‘parties’ where men would pay for sex.



One victim told Thames Valley Police: ‘I’ve seen them doing it to little girls in their school uniforms.’



A 15-year-old victim who was raped by the gang from the age of 12 and sold for sex said she was abused by Akhtar Dogar for three days after running away from a children’s home in 2006.



Another girl told of how the brothers trafficked her to be sold for sex at guest houses across the country.



The Dogars and five others have been told they will get lengthy jail sentences after they were found guilty of 59 charges.



Mohammed Karrar, 38, Bassam Karrar, 33, and Kamar Jamil, 27, were each found guilty of multiple counts of rape among other offences. Mohammed Karrar was also found guilty of supplying heroin.



Assad Hussain, 32, and Zeeshan Ahmed, 27, were each found guilty of two counts of sexual activity with a child.
