Taxi drivers Qari Rauf, 54, and Adil Khan, 53, were among nine men who plied 47 girls with booze and drove them to have sex with predators.

In 2012, Khan got eight years’ jail and Rauf six.

Then-Home Secretary Theresa May ruled they should be returned to their homeland, Pakistan.

The men appealed, saying it infringed on their right to a family life.

Rauf has even claimed he should stay in the UK because he wanted to be “a role model to his son.”

TalkTV’s First Edition has found Pakistan must agree to take them back — and has yet to do so.

Former detective Maggie Oliver, who helped catch the gang, said: “It’s a disgrace.

“These men should have been deported years ago – before their citizenship was revoked.”

A Home Office spokesperson said: “The crimes committed by the Rochdale child sexual exploitation group who preyed on the young and vulnerable were truly appalling and have no place in our society.

“The Government will continue to pursue all legal options against these perpetrators and protect the victims of these appalling crimes.”
