Man jailed after being found guilty of rape

A man has been jailed for non-recent rape offences following an investigation by specialist detectives.

Goher Ayub, 43 (23.08.80), of Bergholt Avenue, Ilford, appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 22 February, where he was found guilty of rape.

He was sentenced at the same court on Monday, 22 April to six years' imprisonment.

Detective Constable Matt Trenfield-Brown said: "This case is an example that no matter how many years have passed, we can achieve justice for terrible crimes.

"We worked tirelessly with colleagues from another force, and the Crown Prosecution Service, to build a case against Ayub. As a result he will now spend years behind bars. He was also issued a restraining order and must sign the Sex Offenders Register for life on his release.

"We're very grateful to the victim for her courage in reporting Ayub."

The court heard that the victim - a woman known to him - contacted police in another force area in 2020 to report that Ayub was emotionally, physically and sexually abusive towards her between May 2004 and January 2012.

Officers from the Met were informed and began speaking to the victim.

She reported that she had been raped and assaulted by Ayub on multiple occasions.

Detectives set about building a case, carrying out a number of painstaking enquiries including witness and medical evidence.

In December 2020 Ayub was interviewed and denied the offences.

However the strength of police evidence led to him being charged in April 2023.
