A Sheffield man who raped, assaulted, falsely imprisoned, and robbed a woman has been jailed.
Haseeb Khalil, 27, of Flaxby Road, Sheffield, has been jailed for a total of nine years and nine months imprisonment for rape and a string of other offences.
On 27 November 2023 officers responded to reports of two men being seen with a gun and a knife in Darnall, Sheffield.
Officers attended the scene where they learned that a robbery had taken place and a woman had been raped.
An investigation was launched immediately, and an item of Khalil’s clothing was seized from the scene.
Officers conducted a search of Khalil’s address that same day, and trawled CCTV from the scene.
On 1 December 2023 Khalil was charged with offences including rape, sexual assault, and robbery, and the co-accused Amaad Yaseen was charged with robbery.
Khalil was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday 24 May for rape, sexual assault, and false imprisonment, which he committed on 27 November 2023.
He was additionally sentenced for two counts each of robbery, possession of an imitation firearm with the intent to commit robbery, possession of a bladed knife in a public place, and theft from a shop. These offences also occurred on 27 November 2023.
Yaseen, 27, of Stainforth Road, Sheffield, was sentenced to a total of 20 months and four weeks imprisonment for theft from a shop, possession of a bladed knife in a public place, and failure to surrender to police.
His outstanding counts – possession of an imitation firearm with the intention to commit robbery, and two counts of robbery, will lie on file.
Detective Constable Gareth Rees said:
“Khalil’s shocking crime spree has caused untold misery for his victims, and I am pleased to see both him and his co-accused locked up.
“The nature of Khalil’s crimes, in which he raped and robbed his victim, is truly depraved and has been reflected in a long custodial sentence in which he will have almost a decade to reflect on the pain he has caused.
“I am proud of the work of our officers to bring these offenders to justice and take dangerous criminals off the streets of South Yorkshire.”
Please remember, victims of rape have lifelong anonymity under the Sexual Offences Act.
