A girl was walking near Crown Island, Nottingham, on the night of 18 May last year when she began talking to Humza Khan – a man with a previous conviction for sexual assault.

Khan, aged 29, then led his victim to a park where he subjected her to a prolonged sexual assault. Detectives used CCTV footage to link Khan and his bicycle to the scene.

He had also given his mobile phone number to the victim before the offence took place, and was positively identified by the victim during a controlled ID procedure, Khan, previously of Hawton Crescent, Wollaton, gave no comment answers to detectives in his police interview, but later pleaded guilty to rape.

Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday 7 March, he was jailed for nine years and three months.

He was also made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order which will forbid him from almost all contact with children for the next 15 years.

In addition, he will also remain on the sex offenders’ register for the rest of his life.
