Mubarek Ali: Support for abuse victims 'vital' says NSPCC
A children’s charity today said “everything possible” should be done to support victims of child sexual exploitation.
The NSPCC spoke out as it was revealed that Mubarek Ali, aged 34, one of the ringleaders of a child sex ring in Telford, will be released in November this year, after serving just a quarter of his jail term.
The charity did not comment on the specific case, but said it shared the concerns of Telford MP Lucy Allan over the impact of Ali’s release on his victims.
It said victims need to have the confidence to come forward to prevent future cases and keep more children safe.
The Shropshire Star revealed on Saturday that Ali is likely to be released later this year – just five years into a 22-year sentence.
