TweetGee what a shocker, a Muhammedan ‘cleric’ molesting young girls. Where, oh where, could he possibly have learned such things? Certainly not from prophet Muhammad, right??? Oh, wait… Aiyesha, 6 years old…
A MUSLIM community leader who sexually abused two teenage girls has been jailed for nearly four years.
Mosque leader Farooq Hussain was yesterday sentenced to 45 months.
Jailing the respected charity worker, Perth sheriff Lindsay Foulis told him that he took into account the fact he had tried to smear the names of the 14 and 15-year-olds with lurid claims at his trial.
He said: “As a result of going to trial, the two girls were required to give evidence.”
The jury had earlier found Hussain, 56, of Perth, guilty of abuse spanning a five-year period.
He sexually abused the then 15-year-old at the Al Farooq restaurant he owned in the town in November 2002.
In July and August last year, he twice indecently assaulted the 14-year-old girl at two addresses in Perth.
Solicitor David Holmes, defending, had presented a large bundle of testimonials to the court from people praising Hussain’s charity and Muslim community work.
Mr Holmes said: “He had charitable works and his position in the community.
“That has been lost and can never be recovered.”
Outside court, the father of one victim said he was pleased with the sentence and was happy the jury had “seen through his lies”.
Hussain, a married father-of-three, will have a 30-month extended period on licence after his jail term.
And he will remain on the sex offenders’ register for an indefinite period.
45 months? That’s all he gets for destroying the innocence of those kids? He should have gotten 45 years. Per count. And release into the general population in the prison. They know what to do with pedophile scum.
