The sexual predator Ishaq Al-Noor, 21, has been jailed for 16 years for raping a 17-year-old student by dragging her into a cemetery. He also attempted to rape another woman, who escaped. He will be deported after serving his sentence.
The Sudanese asylum seeker came to the UK as a refugee three years ago. He carried out “almost identical” attacks on the women in June and November last year.
When the charge of rape was put to him, Al-Noor, through his interpreter, admitted to Hull Crown Court, that he was “Guilty. Yes, I did that. Why not?” He also replied “Yes, guilty” to the attempted rape.
The victim statements were read on behalf of the women by prosecutor John Thackray. The student, just 17 at the time said:
“When he assaulted me he might as well have taken my future, my sense of self, my security, and stomped on it. It shattered my parents perspective of their little girl, something no parent should have to go through. The guilt is still with me 12 months later. The horror in my mum”s voice when she asked me through the phone ‘Has somebody hurt you?’ – it broke my heart.
“Having to sit there and recite the entire assault to a police officer in front of my parents turned me inside out. I have always been a high-achieving student. I had ambition; I knew exactly where my future was headed for.”
