Further charges in Oxford sex ring

An Oxford resident arrested in connection with a child prostitution ring in March has been charged with further offences.

Kamar Jamil was one of 16 men arrested as part of Operation Bullfinch, an investigation into a child sex ring in Oxford reportedly involving over 50 girls.

Mr Jamil now faces another two counts of raping a child, trafficking and sexual activity in the presence of a child.

He had previously been charged with four counts of rape and two counts of arranging the prostitution of a child, and is also accused of threats to kill and cocaine possession with intent to supply.

The additional charges follow reports that as many as 50 young girls came forward, claiming to have been exploited, following the media attention that surrounded the arrests of sixteen men during fourteen raids in Oxford on 22nd March.

Oxford residents Zehsan Ahmed, Akhtar Dogar, Anjum Dogar, Mohammed Karrar and Bassan Karrar were also all charged for crimes relating to child explotation. They remain in custody and are due before Amersham Crown Court on 22nd June. Nine other men remain on police bail until 7th June and one woman has been released without charge.
