Malek Alshabi

Malek Alshabi, 53, of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, was sentenced to nine years in prison at Grimsby Crown Court after pleading guilty to a charge of attempted rape. In addition to the custodial term, the court imposed a three-year extended licence period and a lifelong sexual harm prevention order.

The offence occurred while Alshabi was working as an outsourced carer at a care home in North Lincolnshire. The incident was discovered after a third-party company alerted the facility to motion-based safety concerns. Following his arrest at the scene, Alshabi initially denied the allegations during police interview before entering his guilty plea.

Detective Constable Jasmine Morley of Humberside Police described the incident as an appalling breach of trust, noting that the victim and her family had been deeply affected by the crime.
