A teenager has been jailed for raping a 19-year-old woman in a portable toilet on a seafront.<\/p>\n
Mohammed Abdullah, 19, from the West Drayton area in Middlesex, was found guilty of raping and sexual assaulting the woman by penetration on Bournemouth seafront in the early hours of 6 July 2025.<\/p>\n
He was sentenced to six years and nine months in prison and will also be placed on the sex offenders register for life.<\/p>\n
Det Insp Shaun Inkpen, of Dorset Police’s Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “Throughout our investigation and the subsequent criminal justice process she [the victim] has shown immense strength, courage and resilience.”<\/p>\n
Speaking after Abdullah was sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court, Inkpen acknowledged “the bravery of the young woman in coming forward and reporting such a horrific and terrifying sexual attack”.<\/p>\n
He said her evidence played a “crucial role” in securing Abdullah’s conviction and subsequent custodial sentence.<\/p>\n
Senior Prosecutor, Samantha Wright, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said Abdullah “exploited a young woman who was vulnerable and simply trying to get home safely”.<\/p>\n
“Having gained her trust by offering her a lift, he subjected her to a terrifying sexual attack”.<\/p>\n
“Violence against women and girls has no place in our communities,” she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A teenager has been jailed for raping a 19-year-old woman in a portable toilet on a seafront.
