A teenage girl sobbed in court today as the rapist who attacked her in a flowerbed in a secluded alley at Westfield Stratford shopping centre was jailed for over 10 years.
The 15-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was separated from her friends after a night of drinking at the Bat and Ball bar in Westfield on September 4 last year despite being underage.
At around 10.30pm, while ‘heavily under the influence of alcohol’, she was approached by Albanian national Rufat Kasamaj, 36, who was caught on CCTV observing her.
Sexual predator Kasamaj, of High Road, Leyton, east London, led his young victim to a secluded alleyway and ‘dragged’ her into a flowerbed before raping her.
Prosecutor Tim Forster told the Old Bailey: ‘She became separated from her friends after one of them got involved in some sort of fight and from her recollection, the defendant started touching her on her bum right at the start.’
