I'm Helping to prevent child sexual abuse By Nabila Sharma*, 44, from W Midlands

‘Good work, Nabila,’ he said approvingly. ‘As you’re doing so well, you can come upstairs and clean my study.’
We were alone in the mosque where the imam held after school classes to teach the Koran. The other kids had all gone home.
