Swansea Man Jailed 20 Years for Multiple Rape Convictions

A 28-year-old man from Clydach has been sentenced to 20 years in prison with an eight-year extension period after pleading guilty to multiple serious sexual offences against four female victims. ⚖️

Jamil Ahmed changed his plea from not guilty to guilty in July for one count each of rape and controlling and coercive behaviour. In total, he admitted to three counts of rape, three counts of controlling/coercive behaviour, and one count of harassment, putting his victim in fear of violence.

The court heard that Ahmed raped one victim after making threats of violence should she not comply with his demands. His sentences will run concurrently.

Detective Constable Judith Williams said: “Jamil Ahmed filled his victims with terror through his violent outbursts and threats which left them feeling like they had no option but to go along with his predatory demands. This was not something which happened on just one occasion. This was a prolonged pattern of behaviour, and that has played a huge part in achieving the extended sentence with which he has been served today. We applaud the victims for their bravery in coming forward, and hope they can begin to move on with their lives now that Jamil Ahmed will no longer be a part of them. To anyone else suffering, or who has been the victim of a sexual offence: please report it. Our team of specially-trained officers will be able to support you.”
