A former Muslim priest who sexually abused four young girls inside a mosque has been jailed for 10 years. Qari Sher Mohammad, who was the iman at the Muslim Community Centre in Chatham, Kent, targeted children for almost a decade.
Concerns about his behaviour were first raised in 2018 when one of his victims revealed he had sexually touched her while carrying out his spiritual duties. She said the assault took place inside a mosque on Thorold Road between March 2014 and October 2016.

Mohammad, 61, was arrested and interviewed in April that year, but he was not charged because there were concerns the trial would have a negative impact on his young victim.
Between May 2022 and December 2023 he went on to sexually assault three more children and was arrested on December 11. The victim who had made the previous allegation, now an adult, stated she wished to support a police prosecution for the crimes committed against her. The iman was charged with multiple counts of sexual touching of a child.
