A man identified as Abdul Khan is jailed after being convicted of grooming and raping a 13-year-old girl. Reports say he attacked the girl in a nature reserve/woods after pretending to be 14 on Snapchat.
According to outlet reports, Khan is 28 and the offence occurs about a decade after he arrives in the UK. One report says he told police he entered the country in 2015. Sources also indicate the court sentences him to a term of nearly 10 years, with the exact length reported by some outlets.
The Independent additionally reports that Khan faces potential deportation to Afghanistan once he has served two thirds of his sentence. Other outlets focus primarily on the offence details and the conviction and do not emphasize the deportation timeline in the same way. Across coverage, the central points are the Snapchat impersonation, the girl’s age, the location being a nature reserve/woods, and the custodial sentence imposed.
