Eighth Man Charged In Norwich Case

Tuesday, 7 July 2026 09:46

An eighth man has been charged as part of a police investigation into alleged child sexual exploitation in Norwich.

An eighth Afghan asylum seeker has been charged as part of an investigation into alleged child sexual exploitation in Norwich.

Bilal Shenwari, aged 20, has appeared in court after being returned to the UK from Ireland.

He has been charged with rape and conspiracy to rape as part of the ongoing investigation.

Seven other men have already been charged in connection with the case. They deny all offences.

The investigation relates to allegations of child sexual exploitation in the Norwich area.

Police inquiries have been continuing for several months, with detectives working to gather evidence and progress the case through the courts.

Shenwari’s appearance means eight men have now been charged as part of the wider investigation.

As the case is now active before the courts, the allegations remain unproven and reporting restrictions may apply.

Further hearings are expected to take place as the legal process continues.
