A market stallholder who groomed and raped two schoolgirls in Rochdale has been jailed for 35 years.
Mohammed Zahid, 65, also known as “Boss Man”, gave free underwear from his lingerie stall at Rochdale Indoor Market to both teenagers, with money, alcohol and food, in return for the expectation of regular sex with him and his friends.
Zahid and six other men were convicted in June of various sexual offences against the two white teenage girls, who did not know each other, between 2001 and 2006.
