‘CalCulating and relentless’

After the trial an NSPCC spokesman said: “Murati was calculating and relentless when he targeted his victim.

Despite what the judge called ‘clear and compelling evidence’, he prolonged his victim’s suffering further by not accepting responsibility for his actions.

“Murati is clearly a dangerous, manipulative individual who has robbed his victim of his childhood and the impact will last a lifetime.

“The victim will need support to overcome what has happened to him.

“Providing the right support at the right time helps children get back on track. Which is why we’ve launched the It’s Time campaign, to ask the government to ensure that every child who experiences abuse has access to the support they need to rebuild their life.
