WhatsApp messages emerge that he is alleged to have sent to 16 year-old in December 2015

The Yorkshire Post said it had obtained screenshots of WhatsApp messages from a number belonging to Rafiq, which were sent to Gayathri Ajith in December 2015.

 

Ajith told the newspaper that was three months after she had met Rafiq on a flight from Manchester to Dubai, when she was 16.

 

A spokesman for Rafiq said: “This was put to us late on a Friday evening. We need to look into this, so cannot comment further for now.”

 

Ajith said she had told Rafiq she was 17 to “seem a bit older” and agreed to have a vodka-coke with him on the plane but turned down an invitation to have dinner with him in Dubai.

 

The Yorkshire Post said the screenshots of the later messages read, “u know what I wanted to do on the plane?”, and, “I want to grab you push u up against wall and kiss you”.

 

The newspaper said her reply read, “do you realise that I’m only 17?”, to which she received the response, “Does tht mean it not allowed to want to kiss me”, and, “Wud u have let me kiss u?”.

 

Ajith, who is now 22 and lives in Yorkshire, was said to have branded his message “creepy” and to have asked: “How do I know that you’re no [sic] some absolute pervert?”

 

She told the Yorkshire Post: “I was just kind of shocked by the crudity of those messages. They were just so vulgar.”

Ajith said: “I’m not disputing any of his racism claims, because I’m sure they’re very true experiences. But certain aspects of what he said just don’t really sit right with me.

 

“If he was being forced to drink by his teammates then surely that wouldn’t then mean he would be drinking alone on a flight and encouraging a 17-year-old girl to be drinking with him?”

 

She added: “His behaviour towards me was a direct contradiction really of what he said in his testimony.

 

“He’s calling for equality and respect, but why is he not embodying that in all aspects? Especially in his tone towards women. It’s hypocrisy.

 

“He is being put on this pedestal for inciting systemic change, but he’s really contributing to the problem of the vulgar attitudes towards women. The whole nature of that doesn’t sit right with me.”

Pursuing a minor girl? How creepy is that. The guy is a proper criminal, should be locked up and face the wrath of the law.

 

Apparently he's also apologised for posting urdu memes mocking Africa and black people. He posted these memes 4 years. Can't even hide behind the excuse of being 19 now.

Cricket has been successfully converted to a daily soap now. The scary thing is it is probably going to get much worse.

Grooming, molesting & raping young girls in UK. Muslims nowhere to be seen. 

 

A few words, bit of banter and jumping up & down like monkeys.

 

Why is nobody not surprised at this duplicitous behaviour

 

 

 

 

 

If I am not mistaken wasn't there a case of grooming gang operated by Asian muslims there, where more than 2k young teens were taken advantage of,so won't be surprised if this guy comes out as perv TBH

Please reinstate Michael Vaughan. He can be a troll, but this racist tag is getting a bit much. Say something off-color and a white person is in immediately labeled a racist. I have seen far more racist brown and black people. South Asians are one of the worst offenders.

He got what he wanted. 6 figures...people say he has large gambling debts

 

One thing is clear. The era of "bantz" or banter is over. 

 

Honestly if its true that Gary Balance went around and told girls he was talking to at a party  "dont talk to him, he is not a sheikh but a p-word" then Ballance deserves to be drawn through the mud purely for being so naive. Its one thing doing that among friends but a strict no no in these situations. Thats just common sense.

 

A lot of these lads probably had no filter rather than truly being racist.
