A man who sexually assaulted a child and filmed himself raping a woman has been jailed for 18 years.
Tabarik Hussain, 34, met the woman online in 2018 and they began communicating before deciding to meet the following year.
During a six-month period, Hussain secretly filmed them having consensual sex.
On two separate occasions he also filmed himself having sex with the woman while she was asleep and unable to give consent.
All the offences took place in the victim’s Peterborough home and only came to light when Hussain was arrested for sexually assaulting a child in 2023.
The previous year, Hussain had sent a text message to a girl congratulating her on her 12th birthday. Soon after he began sending sexual messages, including images of his penis, and later sexually assaulted her twice at her home.
The girl told an adult and Hussain was arrested.
When his phone was seized and analysed officers discovered the videos involving the woman in 2019.
They managed to identify the woman, who confirmed she was unaware of any of the recordings.
They also found 18 indecent images and videos of children on the device and evidence he had been harassing another woman in 2022.
Hussain, of Outfield, Bretton, Peterborough, admitted engaging in sexual communications with a child, but denied two counts of rape, three of voyeurism, two of assaulting a girl under 13 by touching, making indecent photographs of a child and harassment.
At two separate trials in April and November at Peterborough Crown Court he was found guilty on all counts.
He was jailed on Friday (6 December) at the same court.
DC Abbie Mcquaid said: “Several women and a young girl have faced the stress of giving evidence in court to ensure Hussain faced justice for a broad spectrum of sexual crimes.
“Both the child victim of sexual assault and the victim of rape showed extreme resilience and bravery during these two trials and in the long wait beforehand. By not flinching after Hussain forced them to trial, despite the weight of evidence against him, they have ensured other women and girls will be kept safe from him for a long time.
“Bringing perpetrators of sexual offences to justice is one of our top priorities and I’d urge anyone who has been a victim to seek support.”
