Smirking sicko, 35, plied girl with booze and raped her twice in vile attacks

A VILE man has been jailed for a decade after plying a teenage girl with booze and raping her twice.

Adam Malik, 35, dragged the girl into his car and drove her to a house where he raped her in two horrific attacks, cops said.

Malik, of Robey Street, Sheffield – who went by the nickname ‘Johnny’ – was jailed for 10 years on Friday after he was found guilty of two counts of rape.

Detective Chief Inspector Rob Platts from South Yorkshire Police said: “After an incredibly complex and protracted investigation, I am pleased with the jury’s verdicts and the sentence imposed.

“In this particular investigation, five men have previously been convicted for the parts they played in this victim’s exploitation between 2010 and 2012.”

Judge Michael Slater said he had the “utmost admiration and respect” for the victim, who cops said was aged 15 or 16 at the time of the attacks.

Malik – previously known as Janhead Aslam – was arrested in Amsterdam in October 2019, but he could not be extradited in time for a trial in January last year. 

‘UNWAVERING RESILIENCE’

“Due to this, and then with the delays caused by Covid-19, the victim has had to wait until now to again recount incredibly traumatic incidents of sexual abuse and exploitation,” DCI Platts said.

“Thankfully, this trial brings this investigation, which first launched in March 2017, to a conclusion.

“Hopefully now the victim can seek some closure following the horrific events that happened to her.

“I would like to both thank and commend the victim for her unwavering resilience and most of all bravery in continuing to support the prosecution to get the justice she very much deserves.”

Malik was sentenced to 10 years in prison for one count of rape and three years for the second count of rape.

He was also slapped with three months for handling stolen goods, six months for failing to appear and 12 months for witness intimidation.

All the sentences will be served concurrently.

Following the trial, Malik was acquitted of one count of trafficking a child for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
