An 18-year-old man, Abdelarahman Saleh Adam, has been sentenced to nine years in prison for the sexual assault of a woman in Portsmouth.
Adam was convicted of attacking a 19-year-old woman in the early hours of September 20 last year.
The police stated that Adam was among two men who followed the victim after approaching her in Lake Road.
He subsequently raped her on Turner Road at around 00:30 BST.
The court was told that Adam must serve at least two-thirds of his sentence in custody.
Additionally, he will be registered as a sex offender.
