The Justice Secretary insists that the release of a Telford sex offender must be reconsidered due to serious oversights in the Parole Board’s process
Sultan, a convicted sex offender, was set to be released by the Parole Board. But there were some serious mistakes in the process. One victim didn’t even know about the hearing last month.
Plus, the Parole Board didn’t get a crucial statement from another victim. This has raised a lot of concerns. A spokesperson from the Ministry of Justice said they’re thinking of all the victims involved.
Mahmood is pushing for the Parole Board to take another look at Sultan’s case. She emphasized that public safety is the top priority. Sultan has a troubling history.
He was jailed multiple times for abusing young girls. In 2012, he admitted to sexually abusing two girls and got a seven-year sentence. Then in 2015, he was convicted of raping a girl and received another six years.
In 2019, he was sentenced again for abusing a vulnerable girl. The details are horrifying. The victim was treated terribly, forced into awful situations.
A judge made it clear that Sultan is still a danger. He showed no remorse for his actions. The police investigation into this case revealed a shocking history of abuse in Telford.
One victim, Kate, was scared to speak out at first. She worried about Sultan’s threats against her. But she decided not to let fear control her.
The Parole Board claimed they carefully considered Sultan’s release. They even apologized to Kate for missing her statement. It’s a tough situation, and many are watching closely.
