Original Note:
The Rotherham abuse 'ringleaders' received lengthy sentences: Mohammed Imran Ali Akhtar got 23 years plus a concurrent 20-year term, while Arshid Hussain received 35 years. The tweet's claim of "3 years" is incorrect and misrepresents the actual sentences. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotherham_child_sexual_exploitation_scandal https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/ringleader-of-rotherham-grooming-gang-jailed-again-for-raping-teen-girl/
