Episode Details

A man named Akshay Kumar, caught trying to flee the UK on a one-way ticket, has been sentenced to five years and two months for raping a woman at his flat in Irvine, Ayrshire. Prosecutors believe he drugged her drink before the attack. After initially canceling a meet-up, Kumar invited her over with a friend; she later reported feeling sick and intoxicated. Despite her repeated refusals and pleas to leave, he pinned her down, removed their clothes, and raped her — leaving her with bruises and bite marks. Police tracked him down at Manchester Airport as he prepared to fly to Mumbai. He pleaded guilty in Glasgow, was placed on the sex offenders register, and banned from contacting the victim. The judge condemned the violent, coercive nature of the crime, noting it destroyed Kumar’s chances of a medical career in the UK.
