2. Thomas Brookes: 15 years' jail for man who raped girl as young as eight
Thomas Brookes was aged 15-17 when he asked the young girl aged 7-8 years old to join him on his Xbox - asking her to give perform a sex act as shown in the controversial console game. The rape, Sheffield Crown Court heard, lasted five minutes. Prosecutor Richard Davis described how on another occasion sick Brookes asked the same young girl to perform a “dog role play”. Mr Davis said this was an “attempted” rape. His victim remained silent about the ordeal until 2024, the court heard, when she finally told her parents. Judge David Dixon told Brookes: “You isolated her and started to play a particular game and in that game you were able to depict (a lewd act) and used that as a mechanism to get (the victim) to do the same to you. “That was carefully orchestrated for someone your age at the time. Both offences were carefully orchestrated and you made sure she was isolated and kept quiet.” Brookes, aged 32 at the time of his sentencing in March 2026, admitted rape and attempted rape of a girl under 13. He was jailed for three years, leaving him with a 15-year total jail term. | SYP
3. Bo Yang: 18-year jail term for sadistic rapist who tied up his victim
A sadistic man who savagely attacked and raped his victim, before tying her up and robbing her, is beginning a lengthy prison sentence. The “horrific” attack took place after defendant Bo Yang, formerly of Winn Grove, Middlewood, Sheffield, attended the victim’s address in Burnley, Lancashire, at just after 11pm on April 15 last year and engaged her in conversation, a court heard. A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: “Following a disagreement about money, Yang took a knife from his right pocket, forced the victim next to a bed and used the knife to tear her clothes. Yang then took out a metal bar from the bag he was carrying and used it to savagely beat the victim. It was then that he raped and sexually assaulted her. “Not content with having committed the violent, sexual attack, Yang then removed rope and tape from his bag and tied the victim up – placing tape around her head. He then used the knife to slash her. “Yang then took items from the victim’s purse, including her bank cards and money. He used her facial recognition on the victim’s phone in an attempt to transfer money into his bank account. “The victim managed to run from the property when Yang had his back turned and sought help from neighbours who rang the police at 3.46am – bringing to an end her five-hour ordeal of terror.” Following a trial at Preston Crown Court in December, Yang was found guilty on all counts. Yang, then aged 41, appeared for sentence on February 6, 2026 and was given a 23-year sentence - comprising of 18 years in custody and 5 years extended licence | 3rd party

Father-of-three Riyasth Hussain, aged 45, was confronted at Sheffield Crown Court by the woman, now in her 30s, who told him from the witness box: "You didn't just steal my childhood, you stole the rest of my life." The woman, who cannot be named, bravely faced Hussain as she described how she had been abused from the age of 11 by men in Rotherham and outlined how he would rape her "at any opportunity" and then "chuck me away like I was nothing". She looked straight him as he sat in the dock, saying: "When you met me, I was just a fragile, vulnerable little girl who you could easily abuse. "Today I'm a woman and my only goal is justice. Today I got justice. I'm happy to take you down at last." Hussain, then aged 45, was sentenced in February 2026 for raping the girl and also a woman who was then in her 20s, between 2004 and 2008 | NCA
