AJMAL MOHAMMAD FROM BLACKBURN INVOLVED IN SHOCKING SEXUAL OFFENSES IN BLACKPOOL
In a disturbing case that has sent shockwaves through the community, Ajmal Mohammad, a man with ties to Blackburn, was found guilty of a series of heinous sexual offenses committed in Blackpool.The incident involved a 14-year-old girl whom Mohammad lured into a hotel room after meeting her in Accrington.
He then proceeded to give her alcohol, which likely impaired her judgment, before subjecting her to a prolonged series of sexual assaults over a span of two to three hours.
What makes this case particularly disturbing is that Mohammad, who is 40 years old and resides in Audley Range, Blackburn, was recorded on his mobile phone during the attack.
The footage captured the assault, and he later filmed a 51-second clip while the girl was asleep at the Avanti Hotel on Albert Road in Blackpool.
This act of recording the assault has been regarded as a serious aggravating factor in the case.
Mohammad’s actions were carried out despite his awareness that he was infected with Hepatitis C, a fact he was diagnosed with back in 2002.
The court heard that this infection posed a potential health risk to the victim, adding another layer of severity to his crimes.
During the trial at Preston Crown Court, a jury convicted Mohammad on multiple charges, including rape, taking a child out of her parents’ control, sexual assault, and engaging in sexual activity with a minor.
In his defense, Mohammad admitted to a separate sexual assault incident, which he initially claimed did not involve any other sexual activity with the girl, asserting she was a virgin.
However, he later admitted to lying about this during the proceedings.
The court was also informed that the girl later attempted to take her own life by overdosing, highlighting the profound impact of the trauma she endured.
Judge Edward Slinger described the case as particularly unpleasant and emphasized the gravity of Mohammad’s actions.
As a result of his conviction, Mohammad was sentenced to an indefinite period of imprisonment for public protection.
The judge specified that he would serve a minimum of five and a half years before being considered for parole, but he would not be released until the Parole Board was convinced that he no longer posed a threat to the public.
In addition to his prison sentence, Mohammad will be registered on the Sex Offenders’ Register indefinitely and is banned from working with children for the foreseeable future.
Despite testimonials describing him as a reliable family man, the court’s verdict underscores the serious nature of his crimes and the danger he poses to society.
