Afghan Asylum Seeker Jailed for Rape, Abduction

0:00On March 27th, a 23-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for abducting and raping a 12-year-old. Girl in Nanyeden Ahmad Mullahkil arrived in the UK just four months before the attacks after applying for asylum due to troubles back home in Afghanistan. In court, he claimed the girl was 19 and that she started things, but the prosecutor called those excuses, stomach churning and rejected them, outright. The jury of war crown court found him guilty of rape, two sexual assaults, child abduction, and making an indecent video on top of another rape. Charge, he had already admitted, this case highlights the swift justice delivered here, with the full impact on the young victim underscoring why these crimes demand such severe penalties.
