Khurram Rehman, 29, resident of Richmond Street, Plaistow, approached teenage girl as she was walking along East Road, Stratford at around 5.30pm on July 3 last year.

At first he appeared friendly towards girl, he then grabbed her wrists and told her to get into his car, threatening to stab her if she made any noise. While she tried to escape she was forced into the vehicle by Khurram Rehman.

After forcing her to sit in car, Khurram drove to a car park off of nearby Elmgreen Close, where he started prolonged and serious sexual assault in the back of his car. Poor girl begged him to stop but he refused and again threatened to stab her.

After raping her, Khurram asked her to exchange her phone number and threaten her not to tell anyone about it or he will kill her. He then threw her out of car and tossed a £10 note towards her.

Police identified him via forensics and arrested him 4 days after the rape. He was convicted of kidnap and 3 counts of rape at Snaresbrook Crown Court and jailed for a total of 21 years.
