Kamar Ilyas Jailed for Rape of 12‑Year‑Old Girl
Kamar Ilyas has been jailed for 10 years after being convicted of raping a child under 13 and engaging in sexual activity with a child. His offences were committed when he was aged between 17 and 20.

The court heard that Kamar targeted a 12‑year‑old girl described as particularly vulnerable. He later introduced her to his older brother Amar, “no doubt so that he could exploit her too,” the judge said.

Exploitation of a Vulnerable Child
Kamar’s victim was manipulated and abused over a period of time, with the court hearing that he was fully aware of her age and vulnerabilities. His actions facilitated further abuse by his brothers, deepening the trauma inflicted on the girl.

He will be required to serve two‑thirds of his sentence before he can be considered for parole.

Impact on the Victim
The girl, now older, described long‑lasting emotional harm and fear. Her statement, read in court, expressed the difficulty of coming forward but emphasised her determination to seek justice.

Judge Praises Victims’ Courage
Mr Justice Hampton commended the bravery of all five victims who testified against the Ilyas brothers, contrasting their courage with the defendants’ attempts to evade accountability.

Kamar was taken into custody immediately following sentencing.
