HAIDER ALI PROWSING MIDDLESBROUGH AND STOCKTON FOR RAPE VICTIMS GETS 12 YEARS IN PRISON

In a disturbing series of events that shocked the local communities, Haider Ali, a resident of Ayresome Street in Middlesbrough, was convicted of heinous crimes committed in Stockton. The incidents took place late on Saturday, September 7, 2024, when Ali began prowling the streets of Stockton with malicious intent.

His first victim was a woman who was subjected to a brutal assault beside a derelict building near Yarm Road. Ali raped her twice in that location, causing significant trauma and fear within the community. The assault was carried out in the quiet hours of the night, making it even more alarming for residents who feared for their safety.

Just as the city was beginning to recover from this incident, Ali's predatory behavior continued into the early hours of Sunday, September 8, 2024. He approached another woman who was simply walking along Spring Street, an area usually considered safe. His actions once again resulted in a serious criminal offense, further compounding the severity of his crimes.

Following a thorough investigation, Ali was brought to trial at Teesside Crown Court. The proceedings began on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, and after careful deliberation, the jury found Ali guilty of three counts of rape on Friday, January 31, 2025. The court's decision marked a significant step in delivering justice for the victims and reaffirming the community's stance against such violent crimes.

On Monday, March 17, 2025, Ali appeared once more before Judge Clews at Teesside Crown Court to be sentenced for his crimes. The judge, acknowledging the gravity of the offenses, sentenced Ali to a total of 12 years in prison. This sentence reflects the serious nature of his actions and serves as a warning to others who might consider similar criminal behavior in the future. The case has left a lasting impact on the residents of Middlesbrough and Stockton, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and community safety.
