A 27-year-old Indian student, Bilal Kazi, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison in the United Kingdom for grooming at least 70 girls, aged between 10 and 17, and manipulating them into sending sexually explicit images and videos of themselves.
Kazi, who was studying at the University of Chester, targeted the minors between August 2021 and August 2025 through platforms including Snapchat, Wink and Roblox.
He reportedly posed as a 14-year-old white British teenager named “Reece” and used a photograph taken from another teenage boy’s social media account to deceive his victims into believing they were in relationships with him.
The court heard that he gradually demanded increasingly intimate pictures and videos, using emotional manipulation and threats to force the girls to comply.
When victims refused, he threatened to leak previously obtained images to their friends and families.
In some cases, Kazi hacked into victims’ social media accounts, shared their explicit content with their friends and published the images online.

Kazi must serve at least 20 years before becoming eligible for parole. He will also remain on the sex offenders register for life and, if released on parole, will be subject to an eight-year licence period.
During the sentencing proceedings at Chester Crown Court, victims described the devastating impact of his actions, with some reporting anxiety, eating disorders and suicide attempts.
One victim said Kazi had “taken away a sense of privacy and security”, while another, who was 13 when he first contacted her, said he had taken her “innocence away”.
The case was investigated by Cheshire Police, which also released some of the Snapchat messages exchanged between Kazi and his victims.
