Sanad Ahmed, a 28-year-old resident of Asbridge Street, Liverpool, has been sentenced to seven years in prison yesterday at Liverpool Crown Court for committing sex offences. Ahmed, who worked at Richmond News on Richmond St, assaulted two teenage girls during the afternoon of Saturday, May 15, 2021.
The victims, assaulted by Ahmed while inside the newsagents, were later discovered by a group of teenagers who promptly reported the incident to the police. Ahmed was arrested on the same day but denied all charges. Today, a jury found him guilty of multiple offences, including rape (oral) and assault by penetration.
In addition to the seven-year prison term, Ahmed is mandated to remain on the sex offenders register for life and is subject to a 10-year restraining order to protect the victims. Detective Chief Inspector Paul Parry, speaking after the sentencing, expressed gratitude to witnesses who assisted the victims and testified in court.
