he abused her "countless times"
Two men convicted of raping a teenage girl who was groomed and sexually exploited in Rotherham are on the run, with one believed to have fled to Pakistan.
Mudasar Hussain and Kamir Ifzal Khan fled ahead of their trial, with the NCA saying that at least one of them has left the country.
The pair were found guilty at Sheffield Crown Court, alongside Mudasar Hussain’s brother, Ghazanfar Hussain, following an investigation into the sexual exploitation of a girl who was aged 13 and 14 at the time of the offences.
The abuse took place between 2008 and 2010, with the victim first targeted by Mudasar Hussain before being separately abused by his brother and Khan.
Mudasar Hussain, who was around 20 at the time, initially plied the girl with alcohol and drugs before taking her to a house in Rotherham, where he raped her.
The NCA said he abused her “countless times over the course of around 18 months, at the house, in local public spaces and in his car”.
The victim told police that he used violence and threats to control her, including threatening her with a baseball bat.
His brother, Ghazanfar Hussain, who was around 24 at the time and known by the nickname Gucci, raped the girl on one occasion while Mudasar Hussain was out of the country.
The victim was unaware that the two men were related.
Khan began abusing the girl after she started visiting a takeaway where he worked. According to the NCA, he gave her food, money and cigarettes before taking her out on deliveries.
Although she believed they were in a relationship, Khan raped her during a period of abuse lasting around seven months. He also took her to a house on several occasions and asked her to have sex with other men who were present, but she refused.
On another occasion, Khan took her to a different address and left her alone with a man who raped her. He later told the girl that he owed the man a favour.
Mudasar Hussain was convicted of 12 counts of rape, while Khan was found guilty of two counts of rape and one count of sexual exploitation. Ghazanfar Hussain was convicted of one count of rape.
The NCA said Mudasar Hussain had been on conditional bail before the trial and was required to surrender his passport. However, investigators believe he may have left the UK illegally, although he could still be in the country.
Khan, who was also on conditional bail, flew to Qatar on September 22 and is believed to have travelled onwards to Pakistan.
The three men were arrested as part of Operation Stovewood, which was established in 2014 following the Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal.
The investigation has identified and supported around 1,150 potential victims and secured 60 convictions against 55 people, according to the NCA.
Khan and the Hussain brothers are due to be sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday.
Officers are appealing for information to help locate Mudasar Hussain and Khan.
Head of Operation Stovewood Philip Marshall said:
“The victim has shown tremendous courage in reporting the predatory grooming, exploitation and sustained sexual abuse these men subjected her to as a child.”
