Mohammed Javeed who preyed on a stranger and raped her near a church has been jailed for seven years.
After posing as a good samaritan, a court has heard Mohammed Javeed met his vulnerable victim in Wellington, Telford, before walking around with her promising to help her. As they walked near All Saints Church, Javeed pushed the woman into a bush and launched his attack. A member of the public disturbed him during the assault in June 2021 and police were called.
The 32 year old was later arrested and charged after officers combed through CCTV in the area. And on Wednesday, April 24, he was jailed for seven years after being found guilty of rape and attempted rape following a two-week trial and has been added to the sex offenders’ register indefinitely.
Detective Constable Erica Hanson-McKenzie, who led the investigation for West Mercia Police, said: “Javeed preyed on a vulnerable woman late at night and I am pleased with the sentence that has been handed to him by the judge.
“Reporting crimes like these can take a lot of courage, and I would like to commend the victim in this case on the immense strength she showed in assisting us with our investigation, and her strength throughout the trial.
“I hope the sentence given to Javeed sends a clear and strong message that we can and do take all reports of rape seriously and will work tirelessly to secure charges against those responsible.”
