Neighbours are furious after finding out a grooming gang ringleader is living on their street in Rochdale after dodging deportation. Convicted paedophile, Qari Rauf, 55, was jailed along with nine other men in 2012 for raping and trafficking vulnerable girls across the north of England.
He was told he would be deported to Pakistan in 2014 after serving two and a half years of a six year sentence, but he is still in Britain over 10 years later. Rauf avoided being sent back to Pakistan by destroying his passport. Pakistan refused to accept him without valid travel documents.
His neighbours now say he throws parties, with visitors coming and going. Mum of two, Angie Harrison, 45, said: "He has loads of people there, having parties and we don't like the look of the people who come."
Ms Harrison, who has two girls aged seven and eight, told MailOnline her house is back to back with Rauf's and she doesn't like letting her children in the garden. She said: "I have told them all about him. It is disgusting."
