An Afghani asylum seeker raped a vulnerable teenager in a brutal attack at a town park after claiming he would be her “boyfriend”.
Rapualla Ahmadze, 21, was caught on CCTV walking the streets of Elgin, in Moray, in the early hours of the morning before approaching his victim sitting on a bench.
The teenager, then aged 17, later told police that the stranger, who was bearded and spoke with a foreign accent, stopped in front of her and asked if she had a boyfriend. She said when she replied that she did not he “told me that he was my boyfriend now”.
The victim said she was struggling with mental health issues at the time and sometimes went for a walk at night and listened to her music.
He pulled her up off the bench and started walking her towards a play park with an arm around her waist and his other hand groped her.
She said: “When we were walking towards the park I kept thinking I need to get away. I tried to pull away from him three times. When I did this the man pulled me more towards him.”
The teenager said she was scared she would make him mad if she continued to try and get away. She was taken to a “tunnel” and pushed to the ground before being sexually assaulted.
She was then walked towards bushes where he used both hands on her shoulders to force her to the ground. She said: “I ended up on my back. When he did this the man was in front of me and leaning over me.”
The High Court in Edinburgh then heard that Ahmadze then raped the teenager….
During his evidence to the court he claimed he was born in 2007 and was currently aged 18. During an interview with police last year he said he did not remember his date of birth but claimed that at the time he was 17. Immigration authorities provided a date of birth in January 2004….
