Vaseem Manzoor

Vaseem Manzoor, a 49-year-old from Badger Lane in Oxford, UK, is currently facing charges related to historical child sex offences. These charges stem from an "extensive and complex" investigation by Thames Valley Police, with the alleged offences dating back to 2005.

Manzoor has been charged with one count of raping a 15-year-old girl and two counts of people trafficking for sexual exploitation. He was charged on March 25, 2026, alongside two other men, Tommy Ocean and Zulfikar Shamim, who are facing similar charges.

All three men were released on conditional bail and were scheduled to appear before High Wycombe Magistrates' Court on April 24, 2026. Subsequently, on May 27, 2026, Manzoor, Ocean, and Shamim appeared at Oxford Crown Court, where they all pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Manzoor's barrister indicated that an application to dismiss his charges would be made on July 31, 2026. A trial date has been set for October 25, 2027, with an estimated duration of two to three weeks. All three defendants remain on conditional bail. Public court records also show a hearing for Vaseem Manzoor, Zulfikar Shamim, and Colum Flaherty at Oxford Combined Court Centre on May 26, 2026, and for Vaseem Manzoor and Tommy Ocean at the same court on May 28, 2026.
