Migrant Deliveroo Rider Stalked Woman He Dragged Off Street and Raped
Jurors convicted Salem Rekoub of three rape counts and two assault counts after a 17-minute attack on a woman in her 40s.
- Deliveroo worker Salem Rekoub was sentenced to 21 years in jail at Isleworth Crown Court after being found guilty of three counts of rape and two counts of assaulting a female by penetration.
- According to prosecutor Patricia May, Rekoub dragged the victim from the pavement to a side road, where he committed offenses while she shifted in and out of consciousness during the July 2024 incident.
- Rekoub called 999 after the rape, telling operators 'a pack of lies' claiming she had 'too much to drink,' then followed the victim to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital where he was arrested nine days later.
- While barrister Brinder Soora claimed Rekoub was 'eager to find a relationship,' the victim stated in her impact statement: 'This has destroyed my life and I am not the same person.'
- Prosecutors noted 'incomplete checks' regarding whether Rekoub should have been working in Britain on a tourist visa, as the victim has been left with 33 bruises and chronic seizures since the attack.
