A controlling thug made an ex-partner watch Islamic faith videos to 'become a better girlfriend' while subjecting her to rape and regular beatings.

Mohammed Khan put the young woman through 18 months of sheer torment and was violent towards her within days of striking up a relationship.

The victim was brutally attacked by Khan on numerous occasions. He once pinned her against a wardrobe by the throat, while another shocking outburst saw him chip several of her teeth after punching her in the face as they sat in his car.

In April last year, he sunk to new lows when he orally raped her following a violent argument.

The 23-year-old also made his ex-partner watch instructional videos on how to conduct herself and warned she faced consequences − including threats of violence against her and her family − should she reject his advances.

Khan's sick behaviour was uncovered after the woman's family contacted West Midlands Police after growing increasingly concerned about the drastic change in her behaviour and appearance.

Specialist officers from the force’s Public Protection Unit worked with Black Country Women’s Aid to offer her immediate help and support and in April, she plucked up the courage to submit a formal police complaint against Khan, of Woodbourne Road in Smethwick .

Khan was then charged with four counts of rape and two of coercive control and following a trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court. He was found guilty on one count of rape and the control offences.

On Thursday (May 2), he was jailed for 12 years and put on the sex offenders register for life.

The jury found him not guilty on the other rape charges.

Detective Inspector Cate Webb-Jones from the force’s Public Protection Unit, said: “This young woman completely changed her behaviour in order to please Khan; she missed exams, lied about her injuries and stopped wearing make-up.

“Fortunately family members spotted these signs and reported it to the police.

“Part of Khan’s abuse was teaching her she couldn’t say ‘no’ to him; he warned that if she did he’d go elsewhere for his gratification.

"And such was the control he had over her, she stayed with him and said she still loved him despite the fact he subjected her to awful physical and sexual violence.

"In interview, the woman also told our officers that she was made to watch Islamic faith videos as it would make her a better partner.

“This is one of the worst cases of coercive control we have seen and I’m pleased that a dangerous offender - one that presents a clear threat to women - has been jailed for a long time."

The 35th member of a notorious Huddersfield grooming gang has been jailed for repeatedly raping an underage girl.

Manzoor Akhtar, 31, has been sentenced to more than four years in jail for raping a young girl when she was just 13. The assaults took place during 2005 and 2006 in the West Yorkshire town, Leeds Crown Court heard. Another gang member, Shaqeel Hussain, has had 12 months added to his prison sentence after he admitted to committing an indecent assault on a 16-year-old girl between 2004 and 2005. He can only be named now as reporting restrictions were lifted after he pleaded guilty.

Hussain, 36, from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, is already serving an eight-year prison sentence for raping a 14-year-old girl after going to trial in February.

Multiple men in the town raped girls – many of whom were underage – between 1995 and 2011.

The combined sentences so far come to more than 380 years between the men. Detective Chief Inspector Richard McNamara of the Kirklees District CID, said: ‘Akhtar richly deserves the prison sentence he has been given after being found guilty and convicted for the dreadful sexual abuse of this young victim. ‘He thought nothing of this girl’s obvious very young age as he raped her and treated her in a fashion which can only be described as callous in the extreme.’ DCI McNamara said he was also pleased that Hussain could now be named. He added: ‘Hussain was convicted for rape in an Operation Tendersea trial in February 2020 but at the time we were not able to release his identity

Akhtar was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court last week (Picture: PA) ‘He has now been sentenced after pleading guilty to an indecent assault on a 16-year-old victim, and can be named as reporting restrictions have been lifted. ‘He will face a total of nine years in prison in total for both of these depraved offences in which he showed no regard whatsoever for his victims. ‘A repeated feature of these cases has been the stunning bravery of the now young women who have come forward to tell us about the abuse they suffered and then doing everything they can to support the police and CPS in taking action against those who abused them. ‘The courage of victims is helping us take dangerous predators such as Manzoor Akhtar and Shaqeel Hussain off our streets, show them for what they are, and put them behind bars where they belong.’
