They, along with a year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, were convicted of 26 offences in January following a trial which lasted more than two months.
The offences related to two girls. Abdulla, of Summerfield Road, Peterborough, was jailed for a total of 20 years for four counts of rape and three counts of sexual activity with a child. The offences related to two of the girls. Balog, of Greenham, Bretton, Peterborough, was locked up for a total of 12 years. He had been found guilty of a total of five rapes and three sexual assaults on three different girls.
Kandrac, of Shakespeare Avenue, Peterborough was sentenced to a total of five-and-a-half years for rape and two counts of sexual touching all on the same girl.
His identity was revealed after a court order, which prohibits the naming of anyone under 18 involved in proceedings, was lifted. The year-old was made subject to a six-month rehabilitation order with supervision after being convicted of sexual activity with a child. Two men, aged 20 and 26, and a year-old boy, were cleared after the trial of 10 charges between them. The proactive operation involved an information trawl to identify vulnerable young people who were potentially at risk of being exploited.
It sends a clear message that we will not tolerate those who seek to exploit vulnerable young people. We will robustly act on any such report. We have already learned a number of important lessons about how these men operate and how to win the trust of children so they can tell us what is happening.
