TWO men who plied a vulner- able 16-year-old with drink and drugs before raping her have been jailed.
Adil Iqbal also raped a 13-year- old girl on a separate occasion and Judge Timothy Clayson said he is a danger and gave him a sen- tence for public protection.
It means he will serve seven- and-a-half years behind bars before he can be considered for parole — and must prove he is no longer a risk. Judge Clayson said he was a danger to young white girls.
Mazar Latif, who raped the 16- year-old in a car after Iqbal had abused her in a flat, has been jailed for eight years.
He will serve half the sentence in prison and the rest on licence in the community.
Yesterday, the mothers of the two girls, who did not know each other, spoke of the impact the ordeal had on their daughters.
The mother of the 13-year- old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said: “My daughter is still having nightmares and is fright- ened to go out.
“I wanted them both to be sent down forever, but we have got justice and now we will try to move on and help the girls and give them as normal a life as possible.”
The mother of the 16-year- old added: “They have shown no remorse for what they have done.
“This has had an horrific impact on both families.”
Bolton Crown Court heard the 16-year-old had been drinking with friends and had a row with her mother on June 3 last year.
Iqbal and Latif enticed her into their car in Manchester Road, and Iqbal gave her cocaine at a house and raped her when she was unable to fight him off.
He put her back in the car, Latif drove her to a seclud- ed spot where he also raped her before letting her go.
Two months later, a 13- year-old girl fell victim to Iqbal at a house she was vis- iting.
When others left the room, he locked the door and raped her. Her ordeal only ended when her friend banged on the door, demanding to be let in.
Iqbal, aged 25, of Anglia Grove, Daubhill, and Latif, aged 43, of Willows Lane, Deane, had both denied rape and were found guilty after a trial.
Judge Clayson said: “There is very little mitiga- tion for either of you for this very serious offence.
“In your case, Iqbal, the fact is you raped two young white females. I have no hesitation you pose a signif- icant risk to members of the public, especially young white females.
“Latif, yours is a single offence of rape, which in itself is a serious offence.”
