A man who raped a woman with Down syndrome has had his sentence hearing adjourned for a month to allow a report on his IQ be prepared.
In court today counsel for Faisal Ellahi, told the judge he believes the circumstances of the crime do NOT warrant a significant jail term.
A jury found he raped the woman after he lured her back to his flat when she became separated from her mother while out for a jog in June 2013.
Mr. Justice Tony Hunt said he’d have to take into account certain aspersions made about the woman during Mr. Ellahi’s evidence.
