Mohammed Ajmal
Introduction
Mohammed Ajmal, 26, was sentenced to five years in prison on November 5, 2026 after being found guilty of committing child sex offences against a 14-year-old girl in Birkenhead and Widnes three years earlier . Ajmal, of Mossley Hill Drive in Sefton Park, Liverpool, and a British national born in Manchester, was convicted following a three-day trial at Liverpool Crown Court of two counts of sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15 and engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15 . Beyond the prison term, he was placed on the Sexual Offenders Register indefinitely and made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 10 years after his release .
Background Information
The court heard that Ajmal, who was 22 years old at the time of the offences, had contact with his victim — a girl of 14 — through the social media platform Snapchat . He arranged to pick the girl up from Nocturum in Wirral and drove her to a flat in Widnes, where the sexual assault took place; a further sexual assault took place in Birkenhead later that evening .
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.
The offences occurred roughly three years before the 2026 sentencing, when Ajmal was 22 and his victim 14; what began as Snapchat contact became an arranged pickup in Wirral, a drive across the Mersey to a Widnes flat, and two sexual assaults on the same evening — one in the flat and one later in Birkenhead . Ajmal denied the allegations and took the case to trial; after three days of evidence, the jury at Liverpool Crown Court convicted him on all three counts — two of sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15 and one of engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a girl of that age .
Sentencing him on Thursday, November 5, 2026, the court imposed five years in prison, indefinite registration on the Sexual Offenders Register, and a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order to run after his release — a package of restrictions that will govern his life well beyond the custodial term .
Public Reaction and Consequences
Detective Chief Superintendent Paul Lamb said after the sentence: “I hope this sentence provides some comfort to the victim and that they did the right thing to report Ajmal’s crime to us.” He added that Merseyside Police is “completely committed to protecting children from sexual abuse and those who seek to do them harm,” and urged anyone who has experienced abuse to come forward to specially trained officers . The force’s announcement paired the conviction with signposting to child support services including the NSPCC and Childline .
Current Status
Ajmal, 26, is serving a five-year sentence imposed at Liverpool Crown Court on November 5, 2026 for the sexual offences against the 14-year-old . His name will remain on the Sexual Offenders Register indefinitely — not for a fixed term — and the Sexual Harm Prevention Order constrains his conduct for a decade after he leaves prison . No further proceedings are documented in the available reporting .
Impact on Their Career/Life
The available reporting documents no occupation or public role for Ajmal, who was 22 when he groomed and assaulted the girl and 26 when a jury convicted him of it . The conviction converts his life to that of a registered sex offender: an indefinite notification duty, a decade-long prevention order, and a five-year prison term for offences a detective chief superintendent publicly framed as crimes a child had done the right thing to report .
