British Man Sentenced to 15 Years for Raping 12-Year-Old Girl

A 23-year-old Afghan migrant, Ahmad Mulahil, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for the rape and abduction of a 12-year-old girl in Newton, UK. Mulahil had arrived in the United Kingdom just four months before committing the crimes and had applied for asylum. During the trial, he claimed he believed the victim was 19 years old, which the court dismissed as false. The prosecution described the attempt to shift blame as 'chilling'. The minor testified that the perpetrator approached her while she was playing on swings and recorded a video of her. The judge emphasized that the victim has suffered severe psychological harm and that Mulahil had targeted the girl. The incident has caused shock in British society.
