Evil paedo gang boss who forced 100 young girls work as prostitutes denied bid for freedom
AN evil paedophile gang boss, who forced 100 young girls to work as prostitutes, has lost his bid for freedom.
Sick Mubarek ‘Max’ Ali headed the notorious Telford sex gang that preyed on young girls as young as 13.
In return, the victims were given food, booze and money.
Ali led the sex gang, which also involved brother Ahdel ‘Eddie’ Ali and five other men, in Telford, Shropshire, over a three-year period.
The sickening child abuse took place between 2006 and 2009.
Ali, then 29, was jailed for 14 years after an eight week trial at Worcester Crown Court in 2013.
He was freed after serving half his term in November 2017.
But he was recalled to prison in July 2018 for breaching the terms of his license.
Ali, now 38, gave evidence via a video link to the Parole Board on April 28 pleading for his freedom.

Ali told the board he was a reformed character and no danger to young girls.
But in a decision today, the board rejected his application.
Ali was also told he would have to serve his sentence in closed conditions, rather than a cushy open jail.
He will now serve at least another two years in prison before being able to apply to the Parole Board again.
RELEASE REFUSED
A spokesperson for the Parole Board told The Sun: “We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board refused the release of Mubarek Ali following an oral hearing. The panel also refused to recommend a move to open conditions.
“Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community.
“Under current legislation he will be eligible for a further review in due course.”
Ali’s brother Ahdel, now 34, who got 18-years and served eight years for his role in the grooming gang, was also released in 2017 but recalled to prison in July 2018 for breaching his license conditions.
He is currently behind bars and has not been given a parole hearing.
‘UP TO 1,000 VICTIMS’
A newspaper investigation claimed there were at least 1,000 victims in Telford.
The 18-month probe published in March 2018 showed evidence of systematic abuse since the 1980s, with victims as young as 11-years-old.
Reporters spoke to 12 victims, most of them unconnected, who accused more than 70 abusers and claimed that violent rapes were still taking place in the early months of 2018.
Night after night, I was forced to have sex with multiple men in disgusting takeaways and filthy houses.
Victim, 14
One 14-year-old, groomed and abused after her phone number was sold to paedophiles, said: “I hated what was happening and my abusers made my skin crawl but I was told that if I said a word to anyone they’d come for my little sisters and tell my mum I was a prostitute.
“Night after night, I was forced to have sex with multiple men in disgusting takeaways and filthy houses.
“I fell pregnant twice and had two abortions. Hours after my second termination, I was taken by one of my abusers to be raped by more men.
“The worst moment came just after my 16th birthday when I was drugged and gang raped by five men.
“Days later, the ringleader turned up at my house and told me he’d burn it down if I breathed a word of what had happened.”
