A man has been found guilty of raping two 14-year-old girls after “plying” them with alcohol in his flat.<\/p>\n
Sultani Bakatash, 29, from Bolton, met up with his two victims after first messaging on social media and taking them to his home on 6 December last year. <\/p>\n
He encouraged the girls to drink alcohol until they were drifting in and out of consciousness, before raping and sexually assaulting both girls, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.<\/p>\n
Bakatash, who police described as an Afghan national, denied the charges but was convicted following a trial at Bolton Crown Court.<\/p>\n
After the attack the girls left the flat and sought help, and police were contacted.<\/p>\n
Bakatash had left his home but he was found the following morning at his brother’s house, the CPS said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been found guilty of raping two 14-year-old girls after “plying” them with alcohol in his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":672054,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-672053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=672053"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672053\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/672054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=672053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=672053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=672053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
