Groomed Teens via Snapchat for Drug Dealing
Raham pleaded guilty to three counts of arranging or facilitating travel with the intent to exploit, along with dealing cocaine, heroin, and cannabis. He recruited teens aged 16 and under through Snapchat, grooming them with cash incentives to run his drug operations.
Slavery and Trafficking Prevention Order Hits Hard
Alongside jail time, Raham has been slapped with a 10-year Slavery and Trafficking Prevention Order (STPO). This means strict controls on his movements, contacts, and device usage to prevent further crimes.
The Serious Organised Crime Unit’s investigation revealed the disturbing scale of Raham’s exploitation, highlighting the dangers faced by vulnerable youngsters groomed into crime.
