Man jailed for 14 years for raping two teenage girls

A 29-year-old Afghan national has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for raping and sexually assaulting two 14-year-old girls in Bolton, Greater Manchester.

  • The defendant met the girls on Snapchat before inviting them to his flat, where they were encouraged to drink vodka and Coke.
  • Both girls became so intoxicated that they passed out, and each witnessed the other being raped and sexually assaulted.
  • The defendant was convicted of two counts of rape, one of sexual assault, and one of assault by penetration.

A man has been jailed for 14 years for raping two teenage girls after encouraging them to drink alcohol at his flat in Bolton, Greater Manchester.

The court heard that the defendant met one of the girls on Snapchat before inviting her and her friend to his home on 6 December.

He encouraged them to keep drinking while taking only a sip himself and complimenting them on their appearance.

Why this matters: The case highlights concerns about the vulnerability of teenagers to sexual exploitation and the importance of education and awareness campaigns to prevent such incidents.

What this means for you: If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual exploitation, there are resources available to support you. The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) offers a helpline and online chat service.
