Four defendants were convicted at Bristol Crown Court on Friday of raping a 17-year-old girl after she was lured to a property in Bristol, GB News reported. Mehrab Safi, 21, was found guilty of one count of human trafficking and two counts of rape. Awal Ahmadzai, 19, was convicted of one count of rape and one count of assault by penetration.
An unnamed 17-year-old boy was convicted of one count of rape. The jury reached its verdicts after two days of deliberations.
All four defendants had denied the charges. The three adult defendants left the UK on December 3, 2024, three days after the offense, and were discovered by French police inside a lorry in Calais before being returned to Britain and arrested by UK police. New police footage shows Safi filming Ahmadzai and Habibkheil laughing inside the lorry during their escape.
The victim first met Safi while Christmas shopping in Bristol. Safi ordered a taxi that took her to the property on November 30, 2024, where she was given cigarettes and vodka, became drunk, and was raped by all four defendants over several hours. The three adult defendants traveled to Birmingham and London after leaving the property.
The four defendants are scheduled to be sentenced on October 6.
