A “dangerous” man has been jailed for 14 and a half years for attacking and attempting to rape a woman in a Bradford park.
A man who attempted to rape a woman in a park after drinking alcohol and taking crack cocaine has been jailed. Khairul Amin punched, strangled and hit the woman with a stone as she walked through Peel Park in Bradford, West Yorkshire, last August.
Khairul Amin, 36, of Moor View Drive, Bradford, approached the victim in Peel Park on 28 August, hitting her with a stone and trying to strangle her during the assault, which left her with serious head injuries.
He was jailed on Friday after being found guilty by a jury of attempted rape, intentional strangulation and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He was told he would serve an extra four years on licence after his release from prison.
In a victim impact statement read to the court, the woman, who is in her 30s, said the attack had “ruined” her day-to-day life.
“I am still having flashbacks regularly,” she said.
“The defendant has no idea how this has affected every part of my life, and I hope the sentence he receives reflects the pain, trauma and loss of confidence that I have endured since the assault.
“I hope that he never gets the chance to rob any other person of their life, as he did mine.”
Speaking after the sentencing, Det Con Sue Sutcliffe, said the victim had displayed “sheer bravery and courage” in coming forward.
“Through reporting this quickly we were able to launch a fast paced investigation carrying out extensive enquiries to locate Amin.
“He was arrested, charged and brought before the courts all within a day.
“He was described in court as a dangerous individual.”
