Rotherham Rapist Sageer Hussain Given Extra Three Years, With Term to Overlap

The new sentence follows a 2025 conviction for an early‑2000s attack uncovered by an NCA investigation.

Overview

  • Judge Charles Thomas imposed a three-year term to start immediately and overlap with the custodial element of Hussain’s existing 19-year sentence from 2016.
  • Jurors were told he led a 14-year-old into a Rotherham alleyway between 2000 and 2002 and raped her while two other people were present.
  • Hussain has been in prison since 2016 for a separate rape of a 13-year-old in the same town.
  • The complainant attended the hearing and was thanked by the judge for her conduct during the proceedings.
  • Co-defendants Kessur Ajaib and Mohammed Makhmood, convicted of abusing another 14-year-old, are due for sentencing on 21 November, as the NCA and CPS praised victims’ courage and urged reporting of abuse.
