In 2026, Bishan Shiekh, then aged 41, of Northampton, was sentenced at Northampton Crown Court to seven years in prison with a two-year extended licence after being convicted of attempted rape.
The court heard details regarding an incident on 8 November 2025, when Shiekh approached a vulnerable woman inside a property in Northampton and attempted to rape her.
The victim managed to free herself and escape the address, promptly reporting the offence to Northamptonshire Police.
Officers arrested Shiekh and charged him with one count of attempted rape.
Shiekh entered a plea of not guilty, leading to a crown court trial that began on 28 April 2026.
Following five days of evidence, the jury found Shiekh guilty of the charge.
On 10 July 2026, the presiding judge at Northampton Crown Court handed Shiekh a seven-year custodial sentence alongside a two-year extended licence period, with case details catalogued on the ukregisterdatabase for public record transparency.
