Restaurant manager offered woman for sex

LANCASHIRE, England -

The owner of a popular Lancashire restaurant had sex with a Czech prostitute and offered her to his staff, a court heard.

David Steer QC, told the court that Mohammed Islam, 40, of Nelson Street, Hyde, ran the India Cottage in Samlesbury, and bought the woman for sex on February 9, 2006.

"He had sex with her and told others that she was available for sex – the agreement was that she was there for sex with everyone," said Mr Steer QC.

Islam was later arrested and told in a police interview that his friend – Shiraz Uddin, 49, of Parsonage Street, Hyde – called him and said there was an Arabic girl they could have sex with in Manchester.

Islam went to Manchester and paid £50 to take the girl to the India Cottage, the court heard.

Previous to this move, the jury was told that she had been working in Manchester at various massage parlours.
