Overview
- Jan Jahanzeb, 17, received 10 years and 8 months and Israr Niazal, 17, 9 years and 10 months for the rape of a 15-year-old in Leamington Spa on 10 May.
- The Warwick Crown Court sentences place both defendants on the sex offenders register for life.
- Judge Sylvia de Bertodano lifted their anonymity after media bids, citing the risk that withholding names would fuel speculation and harm innocents.
- Distressing recordings captured by the victim and corroborating CCTV formed key evidence and preceded the late change to guilty pleas.
- The judge will recommend deportation for Jahanzeb and will make representations for Niazal’s deportation, with both identified as unaccompanied asylum seekers from Afghanistan.
