Rapist jailed a decade after campaign of abuse against London woman

A man has been jailed for rape following a campaign of abuse against a woman.

Goher Ayub, 43, was emotionally, physically and sexually abusive towards a woman, Inner London Crown Court heard.

Ayub, from Ilford, was jailed for six years for rape on 19 April.

Detective Constable Matt Trenfield-Brown said: "This case is an example that no matter how many years have passed, we can achieve justice for terrible crimes.

"We worked tirelessly with colleagues from another force, and the Crown Prosecution Service, to build a case against Ayub. As a result he will now spend years behind bars.

“He was also issued a restraining order and must sign the Sex Offenders Register for life on his release.

"We're very grateful to the victim for her courage in reporting Ayub."

The court heard that the victim contacted police in another force area in 2020 to report that Ayub had been emotionally, physically and sexually abusive towards her.

Officers from the Met were informed and began collected evidence the victim.

Detectives used witness statements and medical evidence to make a case against the suspect.

In December 2020 Ayub was interviewed and denied the offences.

He charged in April 2023 due to the weight of evidence against him.
