Mum of small boat migrant rape attack victim demands answers from Government

And now the teenager’s mum has written to the Home Office, asking how the asylum seeker rapist was ever allowed to attack her daughter.

Angrily writing that she “will not stay silent any longer,” the mum said: “I want to know how this was allowed to happen, how a violent predator known to the system was allowed into this country, allowed to roam our streets, to watch and wait and hurt our innocent children.”

Oxford Crown Court heard how Mofrad had waited in the city centre on the night of the attack before using the victim as a “sex doll”, luring her into an alleyway to attack her.

The small boat migrant, who required a Farsi interpreter during proceedings, had been found guilty of one count of rape and one count of sexual assault by penetration in October for the horrifying attack.

Appearing in the dock in a blue jumper, Mofrad appeared calm before suddenly shouting “I don’t rape nobody, it is lie everything about me, I swear to God lie.”
Staring towards reporters, he added: “You can type all you like, everything is lie about me.”

But after he was sentenced for the horrific attack, the teenager and her mum also spoke to reporters at the court.

First reported in The Sun, the powerful letter to the Home Office asks ministers why the system let them down.

“Why did it fail to protect my child and many, many others? Why was he here? Why was there no proper vetting? No monitoring? No warning to the public?”

During the sentencing, the court heard that Mofrad had 11 previous convictions for assault in Germany over six years. After arriving in Britain illegally in 2023, he also was convicted of theft and given a community order. He was also arrested on suspicion of sexual assault, but the case did not progress.

The brave mum asked: “How could someone with 11 previous convictions and clear, dangerous and predatory behaviour be allowed to walk freely in our communities?”

At the start of his sentencing, Mofrad appeared to try to look around the curtain where his brave teenage victim was sitting to protect her anonymity.

In her mitigation, barrister Tamasin Graham urged the judge against considering that the assault amounted to a prolonged detention in a sustained incident. She also urged HHJ Lamb against attributing significant weight to the convictions in Germany.

Ms Graham said that Mofrad was forced to flee Iran because he turned his back on Islam. His barrister said that Mofrad “now faces a death penalty if he is found in Iran,” and that he was a genuine political refugee.

It was said that Mofrad was an architect in Iran and then retrained as an optician in Germany.

Ms Graham argued that a report said that he struggled with some cultural behaviours, norms and clues.

But Mrs Justice Lamb pointed out in the report that it was said that Mofrad had “sought to offer an impression of unworldliness and cultural naivety in interview,” but that this had “failed to convince.”

The interviewer wrote: “The impression I am offered is that Mofrad knew exactly what he was doing on the day in question.”

HHJ Lamb continued: “I’m not sure, unless I’ve missed it, that your interpretation on what is said about cultural differences is quite accurate.”

Mofrad continued to wipe his eyes as proceedings continued, occasionally speaking with his Farsi interpreter.

Leaving the court after HHJ Maria Lamb sentenced him to prison, he shouted about “lies.”

But the jury had unanimously convicted him in October.

Her mother said: “My daughter now carries a pain and trauma no child should ever know. She has been handed a life sentence. My daughter deserves answers.”
GB News can confirm that Mofrad will now be referred to deportation action.

A Home Office spokesman said: “Our thoughts are with the victim of this horrific crime.

“We will seek to deport foreign nationals who commit crimes on British soil.

“We have returned over 35,000 people with no right to be here in the government’s first year in office, including 5,179 foreign national offenders.

“This is an increase of 14 per cent compared to the same period 12 months prior.”
