Overview
- Isleworth Crown Court sentenced Ismat Ullah, 28, to 15 years this month for the April 2024 rape in a west London park.
- The court heard he punched the homeless victim to the ground, throttled her, and raped her multiple times.
- In remarks reported by national outlets, Judge Fiona Barrie called the violence "extreme," said the victim suffers recurring nightmares and cannot sleep, and stated Ullah has shown no remorse and sees himself as "the unwilling victim."
- The judge also credited his behaviour in custody, noting he is using his time constructively and has "enhanced prisoner" privileges, with several quotations reported via The Sun.
- Coverage identifies Ullah as arriving from Pakistan on a student visa and describes him as an asylum seeker in reports.
