Groomed Boys with Sweets and Gadgets Before Abuse
Said Daauud, once an IT support worker at a Birmingham mosque, has been jailed for a sickening campaign of sexual abuse. He targeted five boys, the youngest just nine years old, winning their trust with sweets, AirPods, computer games, and mobile phones.
Trusted Mosque Regular Used Position to Predator
Though Daauud stopped working at the mosque in February 2022, he remained a familiar face in the congregation. He abused his position to groom and exploit vulnerable boys, with the oldest victim just 14 years old.
16 Years Locked Up for Sickening Crimes
After a thorough investigation and trial at Birmingham Crown Court, Daauud was found guilty of one rape, nine sexual assaults, and four counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. On 6 February, he was sentenced to 16 years behind bars.
Long-Term Protection Orders to Keep Victims Safe
Judges also imposed a five-year licence on Daauud after release, plus an indefinite sexual harm prevention order and restraining orders protecting each victim. The mosque’s name remains under wraps for legal reasons.
