A man tried to make a move on a woman in a park. When she said no, he grabbed her by the neck, threw her to the ground, and raped her.
Saygul claimed the encounter was consensual, but a jury saw through the lies and found him guilty of rape. He’s now on the Sexual Offenders Register for life.
Victim Fled War, Found Nightmare Instead
Senior Crown Prosecutor Sarah Egan revealed the victim had escaped war and atrocities in her home country, seeking safety in the UK.
“Instead, she was forced to endure unwanted sexual advances from Saygul, which culminated in him attacking her violently, and raping her,” said Egan.
Predator With No Remorse
Egan blasted Saygul for his chilling disregard for others, especially vulnerable victims like this woman.
“We are a nation that aims to welcome those who seek refuge and it is unconscionable that this happens to anyone, let alone someone in such a vulnerable position. This is not the first time Saygul has been convicted of a sexual offence. He is a predator who thinks he can do whatever he wants, with no regard for anyone,” she said.
“He has shown absolutely no remorse.”
