Racist Rapist Jailed for Life

0:00On April 24, a 32-year-old man named John Ashby just got hit with a life sentence for raping a Sikh woman in her 20s inside her wall saw. Home, plus religiously aggravated assault. He beat her with a stick and spewed anti-Muslim abuse, even though she's Sikh, he straight up mistook her faith. This nightmare kicked off in October 2025 when Ashby followed the stranger off a bus, slipped into her place unnoticed with a two foot. Kick from the ground and held her captive for at least 24 minutes of horror. The judge didn't hold back, labeling Ashby a deeply unpleasant racist and Islamophob during sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court. The victim, watching from the courtroom, shared how the attack shattered her world. She went from loving life to feeling lost and stripped of her old self. Ashby caught pleased to rape, robbery, intentional strangulation, and the assault after a quick trial that wrapped in two days. Cops grabbed him two days post-attack in Perry Bar, where he dropped more bigoted lines
