An Afghan asylum seeker has been found guilty of abducting and raping a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton.

Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, took the girl to a quiet cul-de-sac on 22 July and carried out "extremely horrific sexual offences".

At Warwick Crown Court, he was found guilty of rape, abduction, sexual assault and taking an indecent video of the girl.

Jurors at the 10-day trial heard evidence from the victim who said Mulakhil laughed while attacking her.

The case prompted changes to guidance on reporting the nationality and immigration status of people arrested and charged.

There were widespread protests in Nuneaton because those details about the men were not reported by the authorities when they were arrested.

Mulakhil arrived in a small boat from France in March 2025, four months before he raped the girl.

Listening to the jury deliver its verdicts in court, he could be seen crying in the dock and blowing his nose with a tissue.

Remanding Mulakhil in custody to be sentenced next month, Judge Kristina Montgomery KC said: "He will plainly receive a substantial custodial sentence which will automatically make him liable for deportation at its conclusion."

Keir Starmer says he  "loves his country".  Why, then, does he keep allowing muslim refugees into this country?  They are disgusting and should not be allowed in.  Also, why doesn't Starmer (or anyone in his cabinet) mention these attacks?  It's because they're too frightened of upsetting muslims.  Twelve-year-old girls are obviously just collateral damage that the British people have to put up with.
