Keighley Child Sexual Abuse Ring
The Keighley child sexual abuse ring refers to a group of twelve men who were convicted of committing serious sexual offences against two underage girls in Keighley and Bradford, located in West Yorkshire, England. The offences occurred between 2011 and 2012.
The main victim was between 13 and 14 years old when she was subjected to repeated sexual abuse by ten of the perpetrators. A second girl was also abused, though to a lesser extent. The crimes included rape and various forms of sexual exploitation.
Following a trial at Bradford Crown Court, the men were found guilty in December 2015 by unanimous jury verdicts. In February 2016, they were collectively sentenced to over 130 years in prison.
The case was one of several high-profile investigations into child sexual exploitation in northern England during the 2010s, highlighting systemic failures in protecting vulnerable children and prompting widespread public and governmental scrutiny.
