Man found guilty of raping woman in London homeless encampment

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 08:26 · Archive

A man has been found guilty of raping a woman in a tent at a homeless encampment under Hungerford Bridge in London.

Moustafa Elbohy, 32, was found guilty on Friday of two counts of rape after a trial at Southwark Crown Court. A jury took seven hours and 57 minutes to reach its verdict.

The victim had been out drinking with work colleagues in central London on 20 September when she encountered Elbohy and a group of men near a station. She was interested in the Arabic language they were speaking, having lived near what she described as a lovely Middle Eastern community, though she did not speak or understand the language herself. Elbohy then pulled her by the wrist away from the group towards a homeless encampment under Hungerford Bridge, which lies between Waterloo and Westminster.

Elbohy used Google Translate to threaten the woman before dragging her into his tent and raping her twice. He denied the allegations but was convicted on Friday. He had entered the country on a small boat on 19 June, just three months before the attack, and was placed in a hotel while his asylum claim was being considered. His claim was subsequently refused. He now faces years in jail.
