Sentence increase for rapist who targeted university students (19 July 2017)
Date: 19/07/2017
A rapist who attacked male students on the Loughborough University campus has had his sentence increased to more than 11 years under the Unduly Lenient Sentencing scheme, following referral of the original sentence by the Solicitor General to the Court of Appeal.
Ibrahim Elamin, 35, carried out a series of rapes against university students on their way home, over a period of six weeks in 2010.
Elamin committed offences against young males on a university campus, lying in wait to attack students at Loughborough University who were on their way home from the Students’ Union. The court was told that two of the victims were alone, with another lured away from his friends before being sexually assaulted.
Elamin originally received a seven-year eight-month prison sentence for rape and two other sexual offences when he appeared at Leicester Crown Court in May.
However, Solicitor General Robert Buckland QC MP argued that the original sentence given to Elamin was unduly lenient and the Court of Appeal increased his sentence to 11 years and three months.
Speaking after the hearing, the Solicitor General said:
“These were premeditated attacks, preying on young men on their way home – young people should be able to enjoy a night out and walk home without fear.
“I felt the original sentence did not accurately reflect the seriousness of this offending and I am pleased that the Court of Appeal agreed with me.”
