Pure evil!

[Ammi]

…it would be reassuring to think that he would never be released from prison again …but I honestly don’t know what the maximum sentencing will be for his horrendous crimes…his sentencing won’t be until September the article says….

Unfortunately, even with a life sentence he'll be out in less than 15 years most probably. The woman who helped him is just as vile too.

….I stupidly thought that she was one of his victims and then realised that she wasn’t…but yeah, to have found someone whose heart was equally as black as his and played such a part of his evil ….one of the things that has been discussed within this government is much stricter sentences and for sentences to serve and mean their full terms as well….and that would be a real step forward in our justice system for crimes and people such as this…so much damage now and so far reaching into those children’s lives….

Yeah i think his victims were predominantly children.

I really hope that's the case here, i don't think a person like him could be ever trusted again. Yep, the damage caused in a lot of these cases is beyond repair. Innocent lives ruined forever by evil, cold people like the scum in this case.

Give him life, and let life mean life!

[Ammi]

…I also wonder because it says that his crimes were global, will he be tried in other countries as well…will this be his only trial for all of the crimes with many global victims…


Elahi was arrested in December 2018 following allegations he was blackmailing a 15-year-old girl in the United States.

Hopefully it can, and should be worked out so he can be tried here, and be charged for all the 'international' offences he committed.

Hopefully we'll get more info in the coming months.

[AnnieK]

Such sick and twisted crimes should carry a whole life term.. not sure how he can be rehabilitated. His catalogue of crimes is sickening

…yeah hopefully there will be more information coming out and I really do hope for a very severe sentencing…I think with a case like this and this is so huge with the amount of child victims…?…there’ll be much to work on as well in terms safeguarding in removing images and content from the internet etc…

[Swan]

Yes i agree Ammi.

I mean -

The victims ages on the charge sheet range from between eight months to adults, the NCA said.

He singled out victims who were in debt or too young to legitimately be on the sites, tricking them into sending naked or partially clothed images of themselves, the NCA said.

When he had received enough material, the agency said he would then threaten to expose the victims while blackmailing them to send more extreme footage and photos.

Simultaneously, he would sell the graphic content in "box sets" through encrypted platforms, making upwards of £25,000 in the process, according to the NCA.

His offences include possessing more than 65,000 indecent images of children as well as some of sexual assault, blackmail and disclosing private, sexual photographs.

Controversial opinion i know, but i would like to see someone as evil and calculated as him be made to wear concrete shoes and thrown in the ocean.

Sickening, just utterly sickening!

[Oliver_W]

It's a shame castration is illegal as a punishment...

[Cherie]

I couldn't finish reading that report, sickening stuff

he will get what's coming to him in prison

[Ammi]

…just to say again also …because this wasn’t a one person thing….Kirsty Nicholls was also very complicit…they met on a ‘sugar daddy site’ and she was with him and as evil and part of creating indecent images and blackmailing etc of children and she herself sexually assaulted at least one of the children…


…I hope that they both get the justice that their hideous crimes deserve…

I don't know anything about her as I stopped reading

unless it was an international criminal court like they have for war crimes, its limited to the jurisdiction of the country he commited the crimes in. If another jurisdictions wanted to take him to court they would have to extradite him, and then he could be found innocent and free to live out life in that jurisdiction, so better to get him for something than risk him getting away with it
