Illegal migrant jailed for 16 years for raping 12-year-old girl just four months after crossing Channel on small boat
An asylum seeker who abducted and raped a 12-year-old in an attack which sparked protests in Warwickshire has been sentenced to 16 years imprisonment.
Afghan national Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, whose victim said he laughed while attacking her last summer, was sentenced after being found guilty of rape and two counts of sexual assault.
Jurors at Warwick Crown Court also convicted him of child abduction and taking an indecent video of the girl during the ordeal near a residential cul-de-sac in Nuneaton.
Mulakhil arrived in the UK on a small boat just four months before he raped the girl, and will now have to serve 15 years in prison before being eligible for release on licence.
