Rapist Who Filmed Attack Has Sentence Doubled

A man who filmed himself raping a woman on his tablet computer has had his jail sentence almost doubled.

The original term imposed on Hesam Khosravi in January was increased from six years to 11 years for being "unduly lenient".

During the "sustained" attack in Trafford, Greater Manchester, the 24-year-old Iranian immigrant threatened his victim with a knife.

The appeal judges were told that other "aggravating" features of the case included "deliberate and gratuitous violence" and "degradation and humiliation", which included the filming of the crime on an iPad.

It was argued on behalf of Attorney General Dominic Grieve at the Court of Appeal in London that six years failed to reflect the seriousness of the offence, the need for deterrence and the "public concern that offences like this give rise to".

Lady Justice Hallett, sitting with two other judges, said: "Watching the footage was an extraordinarily unpleasant task.

"The victim's obvious pain and distress is excruciating to watch.

"How the victim must feel knowing that the recording has been shown in court and watched by outsiders one cannot imagine."

She added: "What is particularly chilling is the offender's calm dominance throughout."

The judge said: "The offender was determined to terrify and humiliate at the same time. He succeeded.

"His behaviour that night was simply cruel, and the lasting psychological harm he has caused is immeasurable."
