Rebwar Omar
PublishedSummary
Rebwar Omar, 29, was found guilty of rape following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court. On December 21, 2011, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the offence committed on April 16, 2011.
On the date of the offence, the victim shared a taxi with Omar, who claimed he was traveling in the same direction. After exiting the vehicle at Crown Island in Nottingham, Omar followed the woman, grabbed her by the throat, and sexually assaulted her. The victim managed to escape and sought help from another taxi driver. Detectives subsequently used DNA evidence to identify and arrest Omar at a car wash near Radcliffe-on-Trent.
During the legal proceedings, Omar maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty, forcing the victim to testify at trial. The court noted that Omar showed no remorse for his actions. It was further reported that he will be subject to deportation following the completion of his custodial sentence.
