Inside the basement where a pensioner and his wife kept deaf and mute girl as a sex slave for NINE YEARS after trafficking her from Pakistan to claim extra benefits
  •  
  • Victim was trafficked from Pakistan to the UK at the age of 10
  • Was repeatedly raped by Ilyas Ashar at his home in Cromwell Road, Salford
  • Spent a grueling 49 days in the witness box reliving the horror
  • The 84-year old was convicted of 13 counts of rape and benefit fraud 

 

 

These are the harrowing pictures of the basement where a deaf mute was repeatedly raped by a pensioner who trafficked her from Pakistan so he could receive extra benefits.

 

 

The girl spent 49 days reliving her nine-year ordeal as a 'sex slave' for Ilyas Ashar in the witness box, a testimony believed to be the longest ever given by a witness in UK courts. 

During her horrific experience in the basement, which began when she was 10 years old, she was sexually assaulted whilst carrying out daily household chores for the Ashar family and their friends.

Basement: The cellar where a deaf mute was kept for nine years as a 'sex slave' by 84-year-old Ilyas Ashar

Brutal: Ilyas Ashar, 84, (left) was found  guilty of 13 charges of rape at Munshull Street Crown Court in Manchester while his wife Tallat (right) was found guilty of two counts of trafficking a person into the UK for exploitation and four counts of furnishing false information to obtain benefits

 

 

She told Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester through sign language how she was beaten, slapped and forced to work as a domestic servant in the cellar of the £300,000 Victorian house. 

Throughout the 280 hours of harrowing evidence giving, the victim broke down in tears on a number of occasions when her stories were challenged. 

During the trial the girl gave her evidence by video link in a private room and was accompanied throughout by two interpreters who had to translate in both sign language and Urdu.

 

She was also forced to watch 14 videos police made of her interviews and, when she learned Ashar would be watching, she begged the judge for assurance she would be kept away from the couple after the trial.

Using sign she said: 'I am very nervous. I am feeling extremely anxious and nervous.'

Into darkness: The stairs leading to the basement in Ashar's house on Cromwell Road in Salford, Greater Manchester

 

For almost a decade, the girl slept on a concrete floor without a bed or toilet in the cellar of the property and was regularly berated for her work.

Sometimes she was beaten if the food she served the family was too hot or spicy. 

Whenever the girl was summoned from the cellar to carry out chores, she said lights would be flicked on and off as a signal and sometimes she would be dragged by the hair if she was too slow in responding.

While Ashar used his victim to satisfy his sexual desires the girl was also used to steal more than £30,000 in benefits on her behalf. 

Two female jurors wept as guilty verdicts were delivered on 13 counts of rape.

One woman on the jury covered her face with her hands while a male juror held the hand of another female juror who was weeping.

All were excused from sitting as jurors again for 10 years after hearing the shocking details of the case.

She was first brought to the UK in June 2005 when she was around 10 years old.

The passport she was using claimed she was 20 years old and it was a matter of 'mystery and concern' how immigration officials at Heathrow did not notice.

 

For almost a decade the girl, now aged 19 or 20, had to work and sleep in the cellar at the family’s home in Cromwell Road, Eccles in Salford.

Ashar was convicted of 13 counts of rape. He had been convicted at an earlier trial of two counts of trafficking a person into the UK for exploitation, two counts of furnishing false information to obtain a benefit and one of permitting furnishing of false information to obtain a benefit.

His wife, Tallat Ashar, 68, was found guilty of two counts of trafficking a person into the UK for exploitation and four counts of furnishing false information to obtain a benefit.

His daughter, Faaiza Ashar, 46, was found guilty at an earlier trial of two counts of furnishing false information to obtain a benefit and one count of permitting furnishing of false information to obtain a benefit.

All three were convicted at the earlier trial, but the jury were unable to reach verdicts on the allegations of rape so Ashar was re-tried.

 

The girl had no family or friends in the UK and had never been to school in Pakistan or Britain.

She could not read or write and the only people she knew in Britain were the Ashars, who told her both her parents were dead.

Property: The Victorian house in Cromwell Road, Salford where the victim was beaten and forced to carry out household chores

 

She was, however, taught to write her signature - so her name could be used to claim benefits.

Ashar and his wife Tallat, 66, who run a market stall and sell cars were arrested when the girl rescued in 2009 after police went to the house to find her asleep in the cellar.

Ian Rushton, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS North West, said: 'At the start of this prosecution, the young victim was one of the most vulnerable that we have ever come across. 

'When she was first brought to the UK she was just a child. 

'She was unable to hear or speak and had no formal sign language through which to communicate, no family or friends to turn to, had never been to school and had no knowledge of this country’s culture and society.

'She was used as forced labour by the Ashars - ill-treated and exploited financially and repeatedly raped by Ilyas Ashar. 

'We have been determined to bring them to justice for this catalogue of abuse. 

'This was an extremely challenging case for the prosecution team, police and court service, but at the heart of it was a vulnerable young victim who suffered appallingly at the hands of Ilyas and Tallat Ashar. 

'Today, they are facing the serious consequences of their terrible treatment of her.

'I am pleased that she is now free from that abuse.

'Since the first trial, she has impressed everyone involved in the case with the remarkable way that she has moved on in her life, and how well she is now doing. 

'She has shown real courage and determination in giving evidence at this re-trial and at the first trial. 

'I hope that today’s outcome will help her to continue to move on in such a positive way.'

Ashar is due to be sentenced next week.
