Mohammed Amar

Mohammed Amar was prosecuted as part of Operation Stovewood for offences committed in Rotherham between April 2003 and April 2008. The trial concerned two victims who were aged 11 and 15 when the offences began and had spent time in the care system. Amar was linked to the younger victim. Following a nine-week trial at Sheffield Crown Court, he was convicted of two counts of indecent assault. Sources describe a general context in which the victims were collected by car and given cigarettes, alcohol, cannabis or money before the assaults; these contextual details are not converted into additional individual acts where they are not specifically attributed to Amar. In September 2024, he was sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment with 2 years of extended licence.
