BRISTOL MAN JAILED FOR RAPING UNCONSCIOUS WOMAN AND FILMING IT

The Bristol man faces a jail sentence of at least 15 years after being convicted of raping an unconscious woman.

The woman claimed Muhammad Ali raped her when she was sedated on the tranquiliser Valium, a form of diazepam.

She told police she found a video on her phone of Ali having sex with her while she was unconscious.

Bristol Crown Court was told the 34-year-old defendant also recorded the abuse on his own mobile phone, where police found video and pictures of his offences.

Ali, of Canterbury Street, denied four charges of rape.

On Friday, February 2 a jury of six men and six women convicted him of one rape charge, after just over five hours of deliberation.

The jury cleared him of the other three charges.

The judge remanded Ali in custody until sentencing at a later date, considering a starting point of 15 years.

The maximum jail term for rape is life.

Ali, of Canterbury Street, was found guilty of one rape.

Bristol Crown Court was told the 34-year-old had also recorded the abuse on his phone, which police found containing videos and images.

She described how she woke up in November 2016 with sore private parts.

She told police: 'I was scrolling through my phone and I watched a video.

I was laid on my front.

I heard him (Ali) saying ‘I’m f-ing you when you’re asleep’.

He was sleeping with me from behind and I just felt really sick.
