Description
A Luton man who fled the country after raping a teenage girl has been jailed for 11 years.
Dawood Khan, 41, attacked the girl in a flat in Luton in March 2022 after spotting her alone and distressed in Milton Keynes. He offered to help her and arranged a taxi to an address in Luton, where he raped her.
But his brave victim later managed to leave the property and used a member of the public’s phone to call for help.
Khan fled the country, but three months later he was extradited back to the UK from France, after he handed himself in at a Paris police station. In May this year, he was found guilty of rape at Luton Crown Court following a two-week trial.
On Friday (August 11) Khan, of St Mildreds Avenue, Luton, was sentenced to 11 years in prison, with an extended three years on licence due to his dangerousness.
