Afghan national found guilty of abducting and raping 12-year-old girl | UK News



An Afghan national has been found guilty of abducting and raping a 12-year-old girl in Warwickshire.

Ahmad Mulakhil targeted the child after spotting her in a park in Nuneaton last July, prosecutors said.

Mulakhil was convicted at Warwick Crown Court of abducting, raping and taking an indecent video of the girl.

He had told the court he did not force the girl to do anything, and did not threaten her family, but had filmed her, at her insistence, during a brief period of sexual activity.

Co-defendant Mohammad Kabir, also an Afghan national, was acquitted of intentional strangulation, committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence and attempting to abduct a child.

Mulakhil was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on a date to be fixed.
