Three men have been sentenced at Hull Crown Court after being found guilty of grooming and sexually exploiting a vulnerable teenage girl.

Hamdulluh Hamdadd (24) and Rafiullah Naseri (21), both from Hull, were each jailed for eight years. Amjid Akakhail (22), of Wakefield, received a four-year sentence. All three are now subject to lifetime restrictions, including being placed on the Sex Offenders Register.

What Happened

The offences took place between September and December 2025, when the victim was aged 17. She had first met one of the defendants at the age of 16.

The court heard that she was a vulnerable young person with a history of going missing and experiencing difficulties at home. The defendants exploited these circumstances, engaging in grooming behaviour over a sustained period.

This included the use of alcohol and drugs to exert control, before arranging for the victim to engage in sexual activity with other men for payment.

Judge Alex Menary described her as a “vulnerable runaway” who was unable to break the cycle of exploitation, noting the degrading manner in which she had been treated.

Court Observations

The court also noted the defendants’ conduct during proceedings, where they displayed a lack of remorse and behaved in a disrespectful and intimidating manner towards the victim.

Despite everything she had experienced, the victim gave evidence against them. Both the court and the police recognised the courage that required, particularly in a case involving prolonged manipulation and control.

While the sentences reflect the seriousness of the offending, the case highlights the courage of victims who come forward to give evidence against those who have exploited them, often in extremely challenging circumstances.
