Afghan Asylum Seeker Jailed for Raping Girl, 12, in Nuneaton
Ahmad Mulakhil was sentenced to 15 years in prison and automatic deportation after being convicted of multiple sexual offences against a child in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
- On Friday, Her Honour Judge Kristina Montgomery KC sentenced Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, to 15 years in prison for raping a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton, with an additional 12 months on license.
- Judge Montgomery noted Mulakhil "targeted" the girl, who was left "distressed" after the attack; a jury convicted him of rape, child abduction, and taking indecent images of the child.
- Mulakhil claimed he believed the victim was 19, but the judge stated there was "no doubt that you knew she was aged under 16." Prosecutor Daniel Oscroft called his blame "stomach-churning."
- Large-Scale protests erupted in Nuneaton after the attack, and a political row followed when police did not initially disclose Mulakhil's status as an asylum seeker to the public.
- Mulakhil, who arrived in the UK four months before the offences, will face automatic deportation liability upon completing his sentence, which the judge said "renders you automatically liable for deportation at its conclusion.
