Two people have been jailed following an investigation into payments for child sexual abuse.
Detective Constable Matthew Cranston, from the Central East Child Abuse Investigation Team, said, “This has been a truly harrowing experience for the child and I am glad that both people involved have received appropriate prison sentences.
“We remain seriously concerned about the predatory nature of Ahmad’s offending in this case. If you recognise him and have a specific concern about his interaction with a child, please get in touch with us on 101, contact @MetCC on X, or make a report on the Met’s website.”
Ferdous Ahmad, 38, of Queensbridge Road, Brixton, and the woman, from Devas Street, Tower Hamlets, were found guilty after a two-week trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Monday, 30 September.
Ahmad was convicted of two counts of sexual assault, engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, sexual communication with a child, two counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity, and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
The woman was convicted of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and two counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.
