Investigating officer, Detective Constable Aimee Stein of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit said:
“I would like to thank the victims for the strength, courage and bravery they have shown throughout this lengthy investigation and trial.
“I understand that reporting and reliving such deeply personal and private experiences can be extremely difficult, and I am incredibly grateful for their courage in coming forward.
“Maryam Jabourri’s conviction is a testament to Thames Valley Police’s commitment to bringing sexual offenders to justice.
“Thames Valley Police takes sexual offences against children extremely seriously. Regardless of whether the offence occurred recently or many years ago, we will take action and pursue every opportunity to hold offenders accountable.
“I encourage anyone with information about sexual offences, and anyone who has been a victim, to come forward and report it to the police.”
