Swansea Man Gets 20 Years for Rape and Controlling Behaviour

A Swansea man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for a series of horrific offences against four women, including rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and stalking. 😠⚖️

Jamil Ahmed, 28, from Clydach, was described as “dangerous and predatory” at Swansea Crown Court. The court heard how Ahmed raped one victim while she was unconscious, only showing her a video of the assault afterwards.

Ahmed’s controlling behaviour included stopping his victim from speaking to other men, blocking family members from contacting her, shutting down her social media accounts, and threatening to harm people she knew. He controlled her emotions and finances, and would sleep outside her house and near her children’s school.

Ahmed pleaded guilty to three charges of rape, three charges of controlling and coercive behaviour, and one charge of stalking. He received a 20-year sentence with an extended licence of eight years on release, plus an indefinite restraining order.

DC Jack Herbert, of Dyfed-Powys Police, said: “Ahmed is a dangerous individual who showed calculated and predatory behaviour towards four women, leaving them in fear of his outbursts.

“I commend each of them for having the strength to speak out about him, and to report his criminal actions in order for us to investigate and bring him to justice.

“This has taken great courage, but it is thanks to them that he has received this lengthy prison sentence.

“I would encourage anyone who has suffered a sexual offence, to reach out for help.

“Either report it to police, and we can ensure you receive the support you need during an investigation, or look to speak to a specialist service if you are not yet ready to report.”
