Muhammad Abid Sharif was sentenced to 86 years to life in prison following a conviction of sexually abusing a teen girl in 2017.

According to court records, Sharif was found guilty of 13 out of the 14 felonies against him relating to the sexual abuse acts against a 13-year-old girl.

In 2017, Sharif housed a Pakistani woman and her daughter that arrived in the U.S. In the summer, he began to show the teen girl pornographic videos and committed unlawful sexual acts with her, according to prosecutors. He often used threats and inflicted fear of punishment on the girl to force her to engage in said activity, said the DA's Office. The acts occurred over the course of several months, until it was reported to the Bakersfield Police Department in 2020 and Sharif was arrested.

The girl who immigrated from Pakistan to the United States described herself as studious and someone who excelled in her courses.

She loved school and even achieved admission to the prestigious University of California, Los Angeles. But her personality and dreams withered away in the wake of sexual molestation by Muhammad Sharif, she said at a Kern County Superior Court hearing.

"I suffer every single day," the victim said while reading a statement to Sharif, while adding what was done to her is worse than murder. A dead person isn't constantly besieged by roiling emotions, she explained.

The girl — who was 13 when the molestation started — spoke how she and her mother moved to America from Pakistan and were naive in his country. The victim began to notice Sharif staring at her and complimenting her looks.

Sharif began to instill fear into her and responded with violence when she rejected his sexual advances, the victim said. Nausea ruled her day because of what he did to her — it became even worse when he denied her medication aimed at reducing nausea. He prohibited her from seeing a therapist and reading inspirational books, afraid what he did would come out, the woman added.

"... now I think of every ... male man as being like that," the woman added.

Frequent panic attacks and PTSD also led her to decline admission to UCLA.

"I was supposed to go to UCLA and become something, become someone like a doctor, a lawyer, engineer ... but he just ruined it for me," the woman added.

But the victim noted her experiences made her stronger instead of weak. She feels strong inside, and everyone who helped her throughout this journey — such as prosecutor Samantha Allen and the court system — helped her to this position.

"I will recover and I will rebuild my future," the woman noted while looking directly at Sharif.

Reprehensible, he tried to impose his sick abuse on her, tried to isolate and intimidate her! She has come out of this and Mr sharif will be going to prison, he will never be able to hurt her again! I’d like to see her file a civil suit against him! Any assets he may have could help her. Much success in life, college and all that you do to the young lady, you deserve a good life!
