Overview
- Mofrad, 35, was sentenced at Oxford Crown Court to a 12½-year term with a three-year extended licence after a unanimous October verdict for rape and sexual assault by penetration.
- Thames Valley Police credited the teenager's bravery and said Project Vigilant and evidence recovered from Mofrad's mobile phone enabled a second arrest and charges despite unavailable CCTV.
- Prosecutors told the court he arrived via a small-boat crossing in 2023 and had multiple prior assault convictions in Germany between 2014 and 2019, with an earlier UK sexual assault arrest later dropped.
- Defense mitigation said he is a genuine refugee who could face execution if returned to Iran, but the judge assessed him as posing a significant risk of further serious harm.
- The Home Office said it will seek to deport foreign nationals who commit crimes, and GB News reported Mofrad will be referred for deportation action.
