Surrey Quays Man Jailed for Sexual Assault of Young Girl

Ahmed Deq Mohamed, 20, has been sentenced to four years and six months in jail for sexually assaulting a young girl. This follows a previous conviction for sexually assaulting a child under thirteen.

The assault occurred on June 16, 2023. Police arrested and charged Mohamed just five days later, thanks to forensic evidence and the victim's compelling video account.

Detective Constable Oliver Colville, who led the investigation, praised the victim for her courage in coming forward and reporting the assault. He stated, "The compelling video account provided by her assisted with the forensic evidence that we had, making it enough to convict Mohamed."

Mohamed was found guilty of sexually assaulting a child under thirteen by penetration following a trial at Inner London Crown Court on May 22. He will now be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order in addition to his prison sentence and twelve months on license.
