Three Men Guilty of Brighton Beach Rape

Ministers plan to seek their removal after sentencing, a process that can face legal hurdles.

Overview

  • A Hove Crown Court jury on Thursday convicted Ibrahim Alshafe and Abdulla Ahmadi of two rapes each, and found Karin Al‑Danasurt guilty on four counts as a secondary party for encouraging and filming.
  • The court heard the men targeted the woman after she became separated from friends and was incapacitated in the early hours of October 4, 2025.
  • Forensic tests found DNA from Alshafe and Ahmadi on the victim, while Al‑Danasurt’s DNA was inconclusive.
  • Sentencing is scheduled for July 15 after a probation dangerousness assessment, according to the court and local reporting.
  • The Home Office said it will move to deport the men after sentencing, though prosecutors flagged disputed claims about Al‑Danasurt’s reported murder conviction in Egypt and said removal is not guaranteed.
