Man jailed for raping teenage girls

LONDON: A man who lured two teenage girls into his car and raped them was jailed for 14 years on
Friday.

Munshur Ali, 22, plied the 13-year-old girls with vodka, drove them to a secluded spot and raped them in turn in the back of the car before letting them go on a nearby street.

Ali, of Hyde, Greater Manchester, had denied the offences, committed last November, saying the girls had willingly consented to sex.

But in an eight-day trial at Minshull Street Crown Court last month he was convicted of three counts of rape.

Passing sentence, Judge Peter Lakin told Ali he had been "devious and manipulative", the Press Association reported.

"You subjected these two vulnerable, naive 13-year-olds to a terrifying ordeal, an ordeal that had and continues to have a very substantial impact on both girls and their respective families."

Detective Constable Lindsey Morgan said outside the court the girls were traumatized.

"I think he was a sly, evil person that knew full well what he was doing, and he went out on this evening knowing that his intention was to get vulnerable girls into his car and rape them," she said.

She said Ali's insistence of his innocence had further upset the families.

Ali was also banned from working with anyone under 18 and ordered to sign the sex offenders' register for life.
