Published May 2024
A man who raped a woman in the toilet of a Brighton nightclub has been jailed for six years.
Yusef Ibrahim, 21, of Abbots Way, Bromley, was found guilty of rape and sexual assault at a previous Lewes Crown Court hearing held in Chichester.
Nightclub staff had called police in the early hours of 24 September 2021 after a woman told security staff she had been raped.
Ibrahim, who was sentenced on Tuesday, was told he would be on the sex offenders register for life.
Sussex Police said after the court hearing the pair had met on the dancefloor earlier in the night.
CCTV from the club showed them entering the toilet and the victim leaving a short time later, visibly distressed.
Security staff detained Ibrahim, who was 18 at the time, and took the woman to a place of safety, officers said.
The victim, in her 20s, told police Ibrahim had led her to the toilet, locked her in a cubicle and raped her.
Det Con Elaine Welsh said: “This woman was simply trying to enjoy a night out when she was attacked in the most horrific way.”
She said the woman had shown immense strength and bravery throughout the process, and praised the “quick thinking” of the victim, her friends and security staff.
