A victim of the Rochdale grooming gang has said she is ‘scared for her safety’ after learning the ringleader of her abusers will walk free from prison in days.

Shabir Ahmed, 73, was convicted of 30 child rapes and jailed in 2012 to serve concurrent sentences of 19 and 22 years.

But he will be released on Thursday after just 14 years, his victims were told in a letter.
