A 35-year-old man was yesterday being questioned by detectives from the Operation Bullfinch team.

Police said Tilal Ahmed Mahdi was arrested on suspicion of arranging or facilitating the prostitution or involvement in pornography of a child aged 13 to 17, and intentionally arranging or facilitating the travel of a person in the UK/another country with a view to their sexual exploitation.

The crimes allegedly took place against a 13 year-old girl in 2004.

Mahdi surrendered to police at St Aldate’s station yesterday after an appeal to find him appeared in the Oxford Mail.
