Record details
A man has been sentenced to eight years in prison for the rape of a woman in Edinburgh.
Kabiru Jack Buraimoh was found guilty of the offence at the High Court in Edinburgh yesterday, Wednesday, 4 November, 2026, following a trial.
The incident happened at an address in the north of the city on 12 May 2024.
Buraimoh entered the victim’s home with a spare key and attacked the woman in her bed.
He was arrested later the same day and charged following a police investigation.
Buraimoh was also placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.
Detective Sergeant Louise Forsyth said:
“Buraimoh carried out a horrific attack on the victim who has understandably been left traumatised by the event.
“I’d like to thank her for her support as we conducted our investigation.
“Violence against women and girls is a national emergency and one which we are working with partners to address. We’d encourage anyone who is a victim of sexual crime to come forward and report instances to us. Support is available and perpetrators will be brought to justice.”
