Migrant On Trial Claims Medical Condition Prevented Assault
Judge Sarah-Jane Griffiths called Hossein Mohmoudi a dangerous sexual predator and said the evidence against him was overwhelming.
At Snaresbrook Crown Court in East London, Judge Sarah-Jane Griffiths sentenced Hossein Mohmoudi, 36, to 11 years in prison for attempted rape, branding him a "dangerous sexual predator."
Mohmoudi claimed he could not have committed the crime due to a "micropenis," though two doctors measured him to disprove the assertion; he also cited obesity and depression.
Prosecutors revealed Mohmoudi previously stalked a barmaid and harassed another woman. Griffiths rejected his claim that a fetish website was "helpful for my English," saying "The evidence against you was overwhelming."
A passerby intervened to stop the December 2024 assault, preventing further harm. Det Insp Thomas Meaden of the Metropolitan Police said, "Mohmoudi is a predator who poses danger to any women and girls he may cross."
Mohmoudi served 10 months in prison for piloting a small boat across the English Channel before residing at an asylum hostel. He faces deportation after serving two-thirds of his current sentence.
