The Keighley sex gang was a group of 12 men of Muslim heritage who committed serious sexual offences against two under-aged white girls in the English town of Keighley and city of Bradford, West Yorkshire. In December 2015, they were found guilty of rape and other forms of sexual abuse by a unanimous jury verdict at Bradford Crown Court. They were sentenced in February 2016 to a total of 130 years in jail. The main victim, who had been targeted by ten of the men, was aged between 13 and 14 at the time of the attacks between 2011 and 2012. However, the alleged ringleader of the gang, named as local drug-dealer Ahmed Al-Arif Choudhury (also spelled Choudry), had fled overseas to escape prosecution and was not among those found guilty in court.
