Oxford Trial Hears Teen’s Account in Rape Case Against Amin Abedi Mofrad

Prosecutors say phone messages recovered from his device show alleged boasting after the encounter.

Overview

  • Amin Abedi Mofrad, 35, is on trial at Oxford Crown Court charged with rape and assault by penetration relating to an incident involving a 15-year-old in February last year.
  • The complainant gave evidence as the jury heard her account of being forced to the ground, called a "sex doll," and led into a side street before the alleged assault.
  • Jurors were told police found a photo of the defendant kissing the girl and messages described as triumphant, including texts to a contact named Ali sent hours after the incident.
  • Investigators said the alleged victim reported the attack to a support service nearly two months later, which meant CCTV was not retained and her police interview did not occur until September.
  • Mofrad denies the allegations, initially gave a no comment interview after his first arrest, later told police he had never raped anyone, and is reported to be seeking asylum status in the UK.
