An 81-year-old former Koran teacher who was convicted of a string of child sex offences has been jailed for 13 years.

Mohammed Haji Sadiq taught for 30 years at Cardiff’s Madina mosque and abused four girls as a form of punishment.

He was found guilty of eight sexual assaults on a child under 13 by touching, and six indecent assaults after a trial at Cardiff Crown Court.

The court heard Sadiq, of Cyncoed, “took advantage of his position”.
