A CHILD rapist who sexually abused a boy numerous times during the 1990s has been convicted.

Paedophile Sabir Hussain, of Nye Bevan Close, Oxford, had denied a string of charges alleging indecent assault as well as one count of rape.

The abuse covered a period of years throughout the 1990s.

At the start of the 42-year-old’s trial at Oxford Crown Court last week, prosecutor Nadia Chbat said the victim - who cannot be named for legal reasons - was sexually abused dozens of times from the age of 11.

From the witness box Hussain, meanwhile, denied any wrongdoing.

Today, as the case came to an end, jurors reached unanimous verdicts on all counts after five hours and 35 minutes of deliberations.

Hussain was found guilty of 13 counts of indecent assault and one count of rape.

He was cleared of one count of indecent assault.

After the verdicts were handed down presiding Judge Maria Lamb adjourned the case so that a pre-sentence report could be prepared.

That report - from the National Probation Service - will look into the background of the offending.

Hussain's final sentencing hearing will be held at the same court on March 16.

He was remanded in custody in the meantime to await his sentencing.
