Telford man found guilty of rape
A 28-year-old man, formerly from Telford, has been found guilty of two counts of rape and one count of attempted rape at Wolverhampton Crown Court today.
During the trial, the court heard that between June and August 2007 Sultan attended the house of the victim on several occasions and forced her to perform sex acts on him.
Mohammed Ali Sultan, who had originally pleaded not guilty to these offences, is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to two counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of controlling child prostitution in 2012, following a separate investigation.
He remains in prison after today’s verdict and will be sentenced at a later date.
DCI Neil Jamieson said: “This has been a traumatic process for the victim and I’d like to praise her bravery in coming forward to report offences and ensuring Sultan has been brought to justice. This further demonstrates the increased confidence people have in coming forward to report such offences in the knowledge that they will be thoroughly investigated and support will be put in place.”
