'Had you been an adult at the time of all of these offences, the sentence I would have passed would have been more severe.'
Mohammed Ahmed was sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh A rapist who attacked two girls when he was 12 has been handed a lighter prison sentence due to his ‘immaturity’ at the time. Mohammed Ahmed is now 24 but was aged 12 when he attacked the two girls, who were both aged nine when his campaign of abuse began. Ahmed was caught after being confronted by one of his victims years later.
Ahmed will also be supervised for two years after leaving prison and has been placed on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely. During sentencing, Lord Doherty said he had ‘particular regard’ to the fact the sexual offences were committed when Ahmed was an ‘adolescent child’. The judge said: ‘Had you been an adult at the time of all of these offences, the sentence I would have passed would have been more severe.
