What the court heard
He was found guilty of rape in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, in March 2020. The judge said: "I have no doubt whatsoever that you were sitting in that car specifically waiting for and looking for a lone, isolated, vulnerable female... you were acting in a predatory manner... When [the victim] stumbled across the street towards the bus stop, which was used over night as a taxi collection point, within minutes you had pulled off from your stationary position and pulled up alongside her, almost as if you were a taxi... [The victim] was in no fit state at any stage to consent to that sexual intercourse." A Kurdish interpreter was required in the case.
