NCA trial: Taxi driver guilty of sexually assaulting girl

Khurram Javed (35), of Clifton Crescent, Rotherham, was jailed for two years today for the 2014 sexual assault.

He was found not guilty on another count of rape against the girl and also cleared of two sexual assaults against another girl aged 13.

The jury deliberated for around an hour-and-a-half following the seven-day trial at Sheffield Crown Court

The trial was part of the National Crime Agency’s Operation Stovewood which is investigating non-familial child sexual exploitation and abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013.

Note: This article was amended. Javed was jailed for two years not two-and-a-half as originally stated.
