Rapist jailed for 12 years after "horrific" attack on Sheffield woman
The 29 year old was arrested just an hour after being reported to police
A Sheffield rapist has been jailed for 12 years after a 'horrific' attack on a woman in Burngreave.
Mulue Btseamlak, 29, of Coupe Road, carried out the assault against a 41 year old on November 1 2022 and was reported to police the same day.
He was detained just an hour after the victim came forward.
Btseamlak was found guilty of rape at Sheffield Crown Court in September last year and today was handed a lengthy prison sentence, along with a three-year extended license period.
He was also handed an indefinite restraining order.
DC Kevin Sibley, of South Yorkshire Police, said: “I am glad to see Btseamlak jailed for this horrific crime and hope during his years behind bars he reflects on the harm he has caused an innocent woman.
“Btseamlak’s victim showed great strength in reporting this crime to us on the day that it occurred, and in providing evidence to support the prosecution.
“I am also proud of the officers for their prompt action which saw Btseamlak arrested less than an hour after his depraved actions were reported to us.
“We thoroughly investigate all reports of sexual offences, whether they are made the day of the crime or are historic.
“If you have been raped, sexually assaulted, or sexually harassed, you can report to us in confidence online or by calling 101.
"If you don't feel able to report to police in one of these ways, try and talk to someone you trust. You can also seek specialist and confidential support via the 24/7 Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Line".
