Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been jailed after he was convicted of a rape.
Mahdi Alizada, aged 28, of Kennedy Close, London Colney, St Albans, was found guilty by a majority jury verdict following a trial at Aylesbury Crown Court, which concluded on Friday (8/12).
Alizada was sentenced to five years and two months’ imprisonment and has been placed on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely.
In the early hours of 23 December in 2019, Alizada targeted a female within the Pink Punters nightclub in Bletchley, continuing to pester her over a couple of hours, even though she had rejected his advances.
When she emerged from the nightclub, Alizada told the victim’s friends that she had left and persuaded her to get into a vehicle, whereby he drove her home.
He then raped the victim in her own living room, before leaving the scene.
Alizada was arrested on 27 December and following an investigation was charged with the offence on 26 August 2021.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Lynda Stearman, of Milton Keynes CID, said: “This was a despicable crime whereby the judge called Alizada a sober sexual predator who targeted a vulnerable female to have sex with him, which was not consensual.
“This sort of crime will not be tolerated by police and although this investigation took a number of years to complete, I hope that the outcome will serve as a warning that we will tirelessly pursue sexual predators such as Alizada and bring them to justice.
“I would like to praise the enormous courage of the victim in this case, who put her trust in us to bring Alizada to justice.”
