A market trader who groomed and raped two schoolgirls in Rochdale has been jailed for 35 years.
Mohammed Zahid, 65, 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.
The father-of-three was one of seven Asian men convicted in June, by a jury at Manchester Minshull Street Court, of committing various sexual offences against the girls between 2001 and 2006.
Zahid and six other men, who were part of the gang, were jailed for a total of 174 years.
