Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 26 Oct, 16:28 · Archive

A rapist serving nine years has been given eight extra weeks for assaulting a prison officer; an Isle of Wight man jailed for seven months for assaulting his father.

Nadal Mehemed, 38, had his jail term extended after assaulting a male prison officer at HMP Isle of Wight's Albany site. During the incident on 4 July, he threatened 'to throw a jug of urine' over the officer and also threatened a separate jug containing another 'liquid'. Mehemed was already serving a nine-year sentence after pleading guilty to rape and robbery following an incident in June 2024, when he assaulted and raped a woman and forcibly took her mobile phone to prevent her from contacting emergency services. Appearing before IW Magistrates' Court on 16 October, he admitted assault by beating of an emergency worker. Magistrates ruled the offence so serious that only an immediate custodial sentence could be justified, adding eight weeks to his existing sentence.

Separately, Kelvin Ouvry, 29, was sentenced at Portsmouth Crown Court on 22 October. He initially pleaded not guilty to assault by beating, criminal damage and harassment but changed his pleas to guilty ahead of trial. Ouvry breached a restraining order imposed in September 2025 by attending his father's home in Freshwater on 7 May, when he also damaged two windows. The following day he assaulted his father by beating him, then escaped from lawful custody on 9 May while being detained in connection with a criminal charge. Police launched a public appeal for information on 10 May and arrested him by 3pm that day. The judge imposed a seven-month prison sentence for escaping custody and breaching the restraining order, with a concurrent seven-week sentence for the assault.
