A fearless 16-year-old’s fight for justice has landed predator Riaz Armani behind bars for 12 years. The 29-year-old, with no fixed address, was convicted of two counts of rape at Leicester Crown Court on Wednesday, 25 February.
Monster Lured Girl Back to Home
The horrific attack happened in September 2023. Riaz targeted the vulnerable teenager after spotting her alone near Hamilton, Leicester, just before midnight on 7 September. The girl had recently left her home and was reported missing to the police.
High Courage and Quick Thinking
Riaz forced her back to his then home on Harringworth Road, where he supplied her with cannabis before raping her. Despite the trauma, the girl escaped. A night shift worker found her around 4am the next day and called the police.
