Police statement
A Humberside police spokesperson said, "Baig was first brought to the attention of officers on 19 November 2021 through a third-party report of a concern for the welfare of a young girl. An investigation was launched, and detectives attended the school to speak to the girl where she disclosed a man had been requesting indecent images in return for money and taking part in sexual activity with her. Throughout this discussion the girl had shown officers she had been actively receiving multiple messages at that time from Baig via social media which further highlighted the extent of his fixation.
"Officers attended the home address of Baig on 20 November 2021 and, whilst at first, he attempted to hide in his house, officers eventually gained entry, and he was arrested on suspicion of causing a female to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity.
"Whilst detectives were investigating these reports, concerns were raised of a second girl who has reportedly been subjected to sexual abuse from Baig. This resulted in the investigation developing with officers exploring new lines of enquiries which resulted in the second girl being interviewed and providing officers a statement of her account in relation to Baig’s offending.
"Baig was originally released on conditional bail whilst evidence was being gathered and within this time, he breached his conditions on two different occasions (22 November 2021 and 26 November 2021) when he visited the home address of one of the girls whilst on bail, eventually sneaking into their home to ask her to pressure her friend to retract her statement.
"Electronics, including a mobile phone, were seized when Baig was first arrested and subsequently examined by our Digital Forensics Unit. The analysis uncovered thousands of text messages, along with explicit images and videos involving the young girls.
"Baig was questioned regarding these findings and allegations and further arrested on suspicion of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity during the interview.
"Following Baig’s guilty plea he was released on conditional bail, with one of his conditions being to hand in all travel documents. He attended Grimsby Victoria Police Station on Wednesday, 10 December where he handed in a passport. This was later found to be expired, and it was established that he still had possession of his current travel documents. Baig was rearrested and charged with breach of bail conditions. Following an appearance at Leeds Crown Court yesterday (Thursday,11 December) he was remanded into custody. He will appear back at Leeds Crown Court for sentencing on Monday, 26 January 2026."
