The victim woke up to find registered sex offender Kamran Rashid in the same bed as her and was left traumatised
A 'dangerous pervert' who sexually assaulted a young woman at a house is set to face a long spell behind bars after playing a cruel waiting game.
The 'traumatised' victim woke up to find Kamran Rashid was in the same bed as her. He then engaged in sexual activity with her without her consent. Lancashire Constabulary said ran from the scene following the horrific incident in Blackburn in November 2021. Rashid, formerly of Cheetham Street in the town, and now of no fixed address, was arrested later the same day and charged with rape.He pleaded guilty to sexual assault by penetration when he appeared in the dock at Preston Crown Court on Monday .
DC Sarah Fyans, of our East Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Unit, said: "Rashid is a dangerous pervert who committed this heinous offence on a really vulnerable young woman. Rashid knew exactly what he had done but made the victim wait until the day before she was due to give evidence in court before entering his guilty plea.
"The victim in this case has shown incredible strength and resilience throughout the judicial process. I want to place on record my admiration for the bravery she has shown. I hope the outcome of this case will encourage other victims to come forward, knowing they will be believed and listened to.If you or anybody you know has been the victim of a sexual offence, report it online here or call 101. If a crime is in progress always call 999.
