Ahmed Deq Mohamed, a resident of Acacia Close in Surrey Quays, has been sentenced to four years and six months in prison for the rape of a girl under 13. The 20-year-old from Southwark committed the assault on Friday, June 16.
Following a forensic examination of the scene, Mohamed was identified and subsequently arrested and charged on June 21, 2023. He appeared at Inner London Crown Court yesterday (May 22) where he was found guilty of assaulting a child under 13 by penetration. The jury reached their verdict on Friday, February 16.
In addition to his prison sentence, Mohamed will serve 12 months on license and will be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
Detective Constable Oliver Colville, who led the investigation, praised the victim for her bravery in coming forward. I would like to praise the victim for initially coming forward to police, and for reporting this repulsive behaviour from Mohamed,” he said. “The compelling video account provided by her assisted with the forensic evidence that we had, making it enough to convict Mohamed.”
Both the victim and her family have received specialist care and support throughout the trial and will continue to be supported by officers following Mohamed’s sentencing.
Both the victim and her family have received specialist care and support throughout this trial, and the victim will continue to be supported by officers following today’s sentencing,” said Detective Constable Colville. Mohamed will now face a significant amount of jail time, highlighting that we take every case extremely seriously. I hope this encourages anyone who has been a victim of sexual offences to come forward and speak to us.
This case underscores the seriousness with which the Metropolitan Police approach sexual offences and their commitment to supporting victims throughout the judicial process.
