Description
A rapist who attacked two women in the space of 15 months has been jailed.
Omran Ahmed, aged 37, raped his first victim at an address in Sneinton on 20 December 2023 – punching her repeatedly in the face during the attack.
During his first police interview Ahmed denied having any sexual contact with his victim.
When confronted several months later by damming DNA evidence he changed his story – claiming he had been asleep and had no memory of what happened.
Whilst on Crown Court bail and awaiting trial for his first offence, Ahmed raped another woman at an address in Forest Fields on 20 March 2025 after being introduced to her by a mutual friend.
He lied again during his third police interview – even when confronted by the evidence of this first offence.
Ahmed, who was immediately remanded into custody, continued to protest his innocence until September 2025, when he was convicted of raping both victims by a jury at Nottingham Crown Court.
He was also found guilty of assault occasioning actual bodily harm in relation to his first victim.
Appearing at the same venue on Friday, Ahmed, of Ilkeston Road, Nottingham, was given an extended 20 year sentence.
Detective Constable Alexander Terry, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“Ahmed is an opportunist predator who poses a clear and obvious danger to women.
“During his first offence he forced himself on a woman who believed him to be a friend, before lying repeatedly to the police about what had happened.
“Seemingly untroubled by the police investigation into his first offence, Ahmed launched a second and highly opportunistic assault on a woman he’d only just met.
“As he begins a very long and richly deserved jail sentence, I would like to thank both the women in this case for their bravery and cooperation during what has been a very traumatic experience for both of them.”
