BREAKING: A RANDOM VIDEO UNLOCKS A 30-YEAR-OLD NIGHTMARE… A 45-year-old man was simply scrolling on his phone when his entire body suddenly began violently shaking.

LOOKING at his phone, Mohammed Nadeem came across a video about grooming gangs and, as he watched, his body started shaking uncontrollably.

The tragic stories about victims in Rotherham and other areas brought home a sudden realisation – that he too had been a victim of grooming gangs, between the ages of 12 and 14.

Bravely waiving his anonymity to speak for the first time about the abuse he has supressed for 30 years, Nadeem, now 45, says there’s a hidden wave of sexual abuse against young boys, perpetrated by Asian grooming gangs.

“I started remembering all these demons and my whole body just started shaking, and I couldn’t stop it,” he tells the Sun.

“I’d spent so long suppressing it and pretending it didn’t happen, but then reading about how these girls had been groomed and abused, it just all came flooding out.

“And as I learned more about grooming gangs, how they operated, how they groomed people, then passed them on to others, it clicked that that’s what happened to me, and I need to speak up about this.”

Nadeem’s nightmare began when, in April 1993, at the age of 12, he was sent from his hometown of Oldham, Greater Manchester, to a madrassa – an Islamic institution similar to a religious school, in Lahore, Pakistan.

“I was terrified and couldn’t stop crying. I didn’t want to go.

“I had an older relative with me, but soon he started going out and leaving me alone, and that’s when I started talking to these older guys.

“At first I just asked them for 10 rupees – about 15p so I could buy a drink, like a Coke or something.
