Men jailed over child prostitution

Published in The Hillingdon & Uxbridge Times
10th May 2012

Staffordshire
A major criminal inquiry into a child prostitution ring has ended after securing the conviction of seven men who were handed jail terms ranging between 30 months and 18 years.  West Mercia Police praised the courage of the men's victims for giving evidence at a series of court hearings, including an original trial which collapsed at Stafford Crown Court in September 2011.
 
Details of subsequent hearings at which two men were convicted by a jury and five others pleaded guilty have previously been reported, but could not be linked until proceedings were halted against an eighth defendant today.

The longest sentences handed down to those convicted during the inquiry, codenamed Operation Chalice, were jail terms of 18 and 14 years imposed on Ahdel and Mubarek Ali.  The brothers, who were jailed at Worcester Crown Court last October, "systematically groomed" several victims in the Telford area of Shropshire.

Derby man guilty of brothel fire

Derbyshire
A MAN has today been found guilty of recklessly endangering life by setting fire to a Derby brothel. Jan Koperdak posted a burning piece of paper inside a plastic bottle through the letterbox of the terraced house in Portland Street, while two women were inside, on August 18 last year.

Derby Crown Court previously heard from one of the women that Koperdak had come to the house that afternoon but she did not want to have sex with him because he only had £3 on him and was "a little bit tipsy". She said he had sworn at her and called her names.

Today, Koperdak, 45, of Goodale Street, was found guilty of "arson being reckless as to whether life is endangered", by a majority verdict of 10 to two.
