Description

Mirza Begg, a 34-year-old man, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for raping and assaulting an 18-year-old woman he met through a flatmate-finder app. Begg, who displayed a collection of weapons, was found guilty of multiple charges, including rape and intentional strangulation. The victim was held against her will and eventually rescued by police. Beggs use of the app to lure the woman demonstrated his planning and intent to commit the crime. He will serve two-thirds of his sentence in custody and will be registered as a sex offender for life.
