Rapist who 'catfished' Muslim men on Snapchat and Grindr jailed

A man who created more than 100 fake social media profiles to blackmail and sexually assault other young Muslim men has been jailed for 16 years.

Waleed Saeed, a British-born Muslim of Somali descent, was sentenced in what one Metropolitan Police officer described as the biggest "sexploitation" case he has dealt with.

Snaresbrook Crown Court, London, heard how the 31-year-old used a network of fake Snapchat, Instagram and Grindr profiles to solicit intimate images of Muslim men and teenagers as young as 15, many of whom privately identified as gay or bisexual.

He would then threaten to "out" them to their friends and family.

On occasions when victims could not pay his ransom, he would attempt to coerce them into meeting in person so he could sexually assault them.

Saeed had been convicted of 17 offences, including rape, blackmail and making indecent images of children.

It is hard to outdo the Somalis for sheer brazenness for their scam jobs. The Nigerians seem charming and subtle by comparison.

Hmmmm....

“A man who created more than 100 fake social media profiles to blackmail and sexually assault other young Muslim men has been jailed for 16 years.”

An adjective seems to be missing for the perpetrator. I wonder why? It’s used to for the victims. Now why would that be?

Raping teen Brits is non-criminal if it is done by Muslims but raping Muslim males is illegal?

Asking for a friend.

Note how the propagandist BBC headline describes the victims as Muslims but “inadvertently” fails to mention that the rapist is a Muslim.

“sexually assault other young Muslim men has been jailed for 16 years”

So, in the UK, if you rape Muslim men it’s a bad thing.

But if you are part of a Muslim group that repeatedly Gang Rapes little girls, and forces them into Prostitution, it’s OK, and you’re protected from prosecution, and even mean tweets.

What a country.

And yet rape gangs that target girls and women are A-OK in the UK.

Somehow it seems to me less relevant that he is a Muslim, and more relevant that he is a Somali Muslim.

“Rapist who ‘catfished’ Muslim men on Snapchat and Grindr jailed”. The best catfish bait to use are goldfish.

Given his Somalian instincts, Wally was on the verge of of establishing a "pig-butchering" empire.

Key word is he’s a muzzi. It doesn’t matter foreign or domestic.

If Somali people spent about 1/3 of the time they spend of cheating and swindling people, that nation would already have a base on the moon.
