Overview
- Judge Maria Lamb ruled Mofrad a significant risk to the public and ordered nine years and six months in custody plus a three‑year extended licence.
- The attack occurred on February 14, 2024 near Oxford’s Westgate after the victim left an under‑18s club night.
- The incident was reported on April 7, CCTV was unavailable due to the delay, and new evidence recovered from Mofrad’s phone on December 13 led to his re‑arrest and charge on February 3, 2025.
- Thames Valley Police praised the teenager’s courage and said targeted patrols under Project Vigilant helped identify predatory behaviour linked to the case.
- In court, prosecutors cited multiple prior assault convictions in Germany and his small‑boat arrival to the UK, while defence claims about refugee status were noted but did not alter the assessment of dangerousness.
