A 20-year-old man from Stoke-on-Trent has been found guilty of raping two primary school girls when he was just 11 years old.

Fahad Ahmed was convicted at the Crown Court

Fahad Ahmed was convicted at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court of two counts of rape and two counts of assaulting a child by penetration. The disturbing offences took place in 2017. Ahmed coerced his victims into silence, telling them never to tell anyone about the attacks.

Victims suffer lasting trauma

The brave victims have endured serious long-term psychological harm, including fear of men, social withdrawal, and sleep problems. Ahmed, who has no previous convictions and has led a blameless life since, was remanded in custody and awaits sentencing later this week.
