A man has been sentenced for rape in Milton Keynes.

41-year-old Mohammed Altaher, of HMP Bure, Norfolk, was found guilty by a unanimous jury of one count of rape of a male at Aylesbury Crown Court last Wednesday.

At the same hearing, Altaher was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment, with five years in prison and an extended license period of seven years to run concurrently to the sentence that he is already serving at HMP Bure.

In 2019, a man visited the Milton Keynes home of the victim, a man in his forties, and raped him.

Altaher undertook a voluntary interview on 21 November 2024 and was subsequently charged by postal requisition on 22 October 2025.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Hollie Cromarty said: “I would like to firstly commend the incredible bravery of the victims in this case. By coming forward and putting their trust in the police, they have helped us to put a dangerous and predatory man in prison."

“I am pleased that the judge recognised the seriousness of this crime, imposing a sentence which reflects as such."

“I would also like to reassure the public that we will always look to prosecute anyone who commits sexual offences, recent or non-recent. You will be supported, no matter what the passage of time, and we will bring offenders to justice."

“Anyone who wishes to speak to us can call 101 or make a report on our website. Further information about the support available can also be found on our website.”
