Description
TWO "predatory" sex offenders who filmed the vile rape of a woman in a car have been jailed.
Bujar Jashari, of Victoria Road, Southend, has been jailed for seven years for his role in the attack in Hornchurch town centre, in east London, last June.
Jashari, 34, and his co-defendant Rinor Korqa, 25, approached the 34-year-old victim when she became separated from her friends during a night out.
She was alone in a bar when two men approached her, took her to a car and drove away.
The victim, who has been praised by police for her bravery in speaking out and contacting the force, recalled being raped inside the car by one of the defendants while the other recorded the attack on his phone.
Staff who worked at a nearby bar told police officers during their enquires that both Jashari and Korqa had been spotted approaching several women before leaving with the victim.
Following the conviction, both men were branded “predatory offenders” who “would likely” still be offending if they had not been caught.
The pair were eventually traced and charged.
During a sentencing hearing on January 24, at Snaresbrook Crown Court, Jashari, was sentenced to seven years imprisonment for rape.
Korqa, of Romford, east London, was sentenced to five years and six months imprisonment for rape and failing to disclose his mobile phone PIN.
Both men had been convicted of rape two days earlier at the same court.
