Three brothers have been jailed for their roles in a 14-year-long campaign of grooming and sex abuse across the north of England.

Shaha Amran Miah (Jai), 49, Shaha Alman Miah (Ali), 47, and Shah Joman Miah (Sarj), 38, were all convicted in October last year of a spate of sex crimes against children between 1996 and 2010.

Sarj and Jai sexually abused two children at a mosque in Leeds over a period of years - which began when the victims were just seven years old.

The brothers also took advantage of vulnerable, underage girls in a flat above their family's takeaway in Barrow between 2008 and 2010.

And today, the trio have been sentenced to collective terms of over 51 years in prison.

Shaha Amran Miah, was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 20 years and 338 days.

Shaha Alman Miah, was sentenced to a 14-year extended sentence - with 10 years in prison and four years on licence.

Shah Joman Miah was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 21 years and 232 days.

Above their takeaway, the brothers gave young girls cigarettes, alcohol, food and hair extensions - which prosecution barrister Tim Evans KC called a "classic grooming technique".

Evans said the brothers worked as a "team" and "created an environment in Barrow in which each of them could abuse young girls".
