Two Westminster men found guilty of brutal rape and assault in Slough
Horrific attack caught on camera
Kasra Esmaelie, 25, and Aziz Nasser, 35, both from Westminster, have been convicted of raping a woman in her twenties, forcing her to strip before the attack was filmed on their phones. The twisted assault took place in Upton Park, Slough, in the early hours of September 3, 2021.
Shock verdict at Reading Crown Court
After a 10-day trial at Reading Crown Court, Esmaelie was found guilty of two counts of rape and two counts of common assault. Nasser was convicted of two counts of rape, one sexual assault, and one common assault. Both men were arrested shortly after the incident on September 9.
Investigation reveals chilling exploitation
The victim was threatened and forced into prostitution before the vile attack. Detective Constable Mark Wilson from Slough police station said,
“This was a serious and complex investigation in which the victim was forced to endure a horrendous set of circumstances in which Esmaelie and Nasser sought to sexually exploit her for financial gain.”
He added,
“Throughout the investigation and trial, the victim has shown exceptional courage and resilience. These convictions highlight Thames Valley Police’s dedication to tackling violence against women and girls.”
Police and prosecutors praised
Detective Wilson extended thanks to the Metropolitan Police, Westminster City Council’s Integrated Gang & Exploitation Unit, the CPS, and Prosecution Counsel Paul Fairley for securing the convictions.
A sentencing date for the perpetrators is yet to be announced.
