A court in London found a citizen of Tajikistan guilty of committing sexual violence against a 13-year-old girl.
According to British media, 50-year-old Abdulmanon Aliyev, a native of Tajikistan, was found guilty on six counts related to sexual harassment.
It was established during the proceedings that the incident occurred on a train in the outskirts of London. Aliyev sat across from the victim and attempted to speak with her using a translator on his mobile phone.
The girl moved to another seat, but the man followed her, took the adjacent seat, and blocked her, closing off the exit.
According to investigators, after this, the man subjected the girl to sexual violence. This continued until the train arrived at the station.
As soon as the girl was able to free herself, she boarded another train and reported to the police.
The police launched a manhunt for the suspect and arrested Aliyev in South London.
“We take every report of sexual offenses extremely seriously and will do everything possible to ensure that criminals like Aliyev face justice,” said police representative Detective Inspector Elizabeth Cahill.
The police reported that evidence was found during the interrogation and search.
Ultimately, the court found Aliyev guilty on six counts. Among them were rape, sexual violence, harassment, and attempted rape.
So far, the final court decision has not been officially announced.
Neither Abdulmanon Aliyev nor his lawyer or relatives have publicly commented on the charges yet.
