Description
A man has been convicted of abducting a child and sexually assaulting her at a house in Birmingham.
Mohammed Abdulraziq, aged 32, was found guilty of false imprisonment with intent to commit a sexual offence, sexual assault of a female under 13 and an assault on a woman following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
Abdulraziq was discovered in a house with a five-year-old on the afternoon of March 30.
The girl had been playing in the street when Abdulraziq took her into a house.
The girl’s mother and her friend searched for her daughter and heard crying coming from inside a house. Her friend looked through the window and saw a man inside a room with the girl.
The man then punched her through the window as she tried to climb in. Entry was then forced into the house by members of the public who detained him until we were called and our officers arrived and arrested him. He will be sentenced at a later date.
Detective Sergeant Nicky Simms, from our Central Complex Child Abuse Investigation Team, said:
“Abdulraziq was a predatory individual who took a young girl off the street and into his house. Fortunately, incidents of this nature are rare.
“I must praise the courage of the girl and her mother in what has been a very sensitive investigation.”
