A rapist filmed his vile sex attacks against a teenage girl on his phone after plying her with alcohol. Paedophile, Burhan Din, 30, of no fixed address, groomed the child on Snapchat before raping her at a flat in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
Din was convicted of two counts of rape, four counts of sexual activity with a child and attempting to pervert the course of justice. He was sentenced on Friday to 14 years in prison at Bradford Crown Court. He also admitted possessing a machete and cannabis.
Recorder, Jason Pitter KC, told Din: “In very simple terms, you deliberately and cynically groomed her.”
Jurors heard how the rapist knew early on that the girl was a child and he got her drunk before attacking her.
The girl told the court her life had been nothing but hell since Din contacted her.
Detailing how her mental health suffered as a result of Din’s evil abuse, the girl revealed how he left her feeling scared and powerless.
She said telling the authorities about what had happened to her was extremely hard, but she was glad her voice was heard, The Examiner reports.
Judge Pitter said the case highlighted the danger men such as Din pose to young people on social media.
Din, who is married with a child of his own, denied his crimes even after he had been found guilty.
The judge said he was satisfied Din had recorded one of his sex attacks on his phone and that the girl acted bravely to read her statement in court.
He said: “She is a credit to herself. Hopefully she will in time be able to feel she has fully taken back her power.”
Din will be subject to an indefinite sexual harm prevention order and be on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
