Man found guilty of raping woman in Nottinghamshire park
Man guilty of raping vulnerable woman, 18, in park
- Sheraz Malik, 28, has been found guilty of two counts of rape following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
- The charges relate to the rape of an 18-year-old woman, described as 'drunk and obviously vulnerable', in Sutton Lawn park, Sutton-in-Ashfield, on June 29 last year.
- Malik, an asylum seeker from Pakistan, maintained the sexual encounter was consensual, but a jury unanimously convicted him of oral and vaginal rape.
- The court heard the victim was left alone with a group of men, including Malik, after sharing vodka with a friend, and was subsequently raped twice by two different men.
- Judge Simon Ash KC has adjourned the case for a mention hearing on February 6 to fix a sentencing date, ordering a pre-sentence report and remanding Malik into custody.
