Migrant rapist who branded women ‘lesser beings’ jailed for 12 years
A FORMER illegal migrant who raped a woman days after he won permission to stay in the UK and then called Britain a “bitch country” was jailed for 12 years yesterday.
Abdel-Aziz Al-Shamary enjoyed degrading and humiliating women who he believed were ‘lesser beings’
Kuwaiti-born Abdel-Aziz Al-Shamary enjoyed degrading and humiliating women who he believed were “lesser beings”, the court heard.
Al-Shamary, 21, refused to talk to a woman police officer after his arrest for rape.
He entered Britain illegally last year but won leave to stay two weeks before the attack.
He struck after following his victim through streets for 18 minutes, Teesside Crown Court was told.
This was as much about degradation and humiliation as it was about sexual pleasure
The jury also heard that hours before the rape he watched outdoor pornography on his phone.
Judge Sean Morris said: “This was as much about degradation and humiliation as it was about sexual pleasure. You will go to prison for 12 years and I sincerely hope you will promptly be deported at the halfway point.”
Al-Shamary was convicted last month of raping and assaulting his victim, a British woman in her 30s, by first punching her on the nose to “terrify her into submission”.
Bloodied and sobbing, she was found face down with her jeans and underwear around her ankles.

In a statement the victim, who was present to see him jailed, said: “The thought of the attack makes me feel very unclean and I feel as if I cannot get the thought or the feeling of this man off me and my body.
“Every night when I go to bed, I always think about what happened.”
Drunk Al-Shamary, who had downed two bottles of whisky, was arrested nearby but refused to allow a woman police officer to touch him.
In police custody he was heard to shout: “I am Saddam Hussein, I will not talk to you, you are a woman.”

He also shouted “bitch country”.
Earlier in the evening, he had left a 17-year-old girl shaking with fear after confronting her as she walked along the street with a male friend.
He called her an “ugly bitch” adding she was “not worthy”.
