According to British media reports, the court found the accused guilty of exploiting vulnerable women over an extended period, using his position of influence and religious authority to commit the offences.
The trial heard testimony from victims who described abuse, coercion, and manipulation, while prosecutors argued that the cleric targeted women within the Bangladeshi community.
The judge described the crimes as serious and predatory, stating that the offender had caused lasting trauma to the victims.
Law enforcement officials said the conviction followed a lengthy investigation and encouraged other victims of abuse to come forward and report such crimes.
