Overview
- - Ibrahim Alshafe, Abdulla Ahmadi and Karin Al‑Danasurt were found guilty Thursday at Hove Crown Court, with the first two on two counts of rape each and the third as a secondary party on four counts.
- - Prosecutors said the woman became separated from friends and was incapacitated in the early hours of October 4, 2025, when two men took her behind a beach hut and the third filmed.
- - Forensic evidence matched DNA from Alshafe and Ahmadi to samples taken from the victim, and jurors viewed mobile phone footage that captured parts of the assault.
- - All three were living in Home Office asylum accommodation after arriving by small boats, and ministers say they will seek to remove them from the UK after the July 15 sentencing.
- - The court excluded a disputed claim that Al‑Danasurt had a murder conviction in Egypt and dropped a separate charge on sharing intimate films for jurisdictional reasons, with prosecutors noting further inquiries.
