Overview

• Prosecutors have charged the 30-year-old with two counts of owning dogs dangerously out of control after an alleged July 2023 incident in Hornchurch.
• An XL Bully and an American bulldog owned by Benrahma are said to have injured a man identified in court as Luke Rehbin.
• Defense lawyer Adrian England sought an adjournment and indicated Benrahma intends to deny the charges, citing the need to confer with a Monaco-based solicitor.
• Magistrate Roger King kept the case at Willesden Magistrates’ Court, with Benrahma due to appear later this month either in person or via video link.
• If convicted, penalties can include an unlimited fine, a custodial sentence, restrictions on dog ownership, or euthanasia orders for the animals.
