In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Alieu George, 46, of no fixed address, was jailed for 15 years for the predatory rape of a woman in Dorset Gardens, Brighton, East Sussex. On appearing at Brighton Crown Court on 10 March 2026, the defendant was sentenced following a trial where he was found guilty of rape and sexual assault by penetration. It was reported that the attack occurred in broad daylight in a public park after George systematically isolated the victim from her social group.
The investigation established that George approached the 35-year-old victim while she was out for drinks after work on Sunday 22 June 2025. Sussex Police reported that George made repeated excuses to remove the woman from her companions to get her alone. The prosecution reported that he then led her toward Dorset Gardens, making multiple attempts to sexually assault her along the way before eventually raping her on the ground in the park area.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that the intervention of three courageous witnesses was instrumental in George’s arrest. Brighton Crown Court heard how members of the public spotted the pair at 9:05 am and, recognising the victim’s distress, immediately alerted the police. The investigation established that when officers arrived, they found the victim distraught and George lying next to her; he attempted to evade suspicion by falsely claiming the woman was his girlfriend.
The Sentencing Judge noted the calculated nature of the attack and the bravery of the witnesses who intervened. For his actions in Brighton, George was handed a 15-year sentence, comprising 12 years in custody and a further three years on extended licence. The judge noted that George’s predatory behaviour necessitated an indefinite restraining order to protect the victim and a long-term custodial term to protect the public from his “vile” and “cruel” conduct.

Monitoring and Public Protection
George is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by the police and the National Probation Service in Sussex. Due to the brazen and predatory nature of his conduct in Brighton, his management is subject to intensive scrutiny. Authorities state that his 15-year sentence and lifelong inclusion on the Sex Offenders Register are critical tools to ensure he remains under the highest level of supervision to prevent any future risk to women in public spaces.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register for life, George must comply with all notification requirements regarding his identity and residence. Authorities state that his history of rape in East Sussex necessitates permanent vigilance. Any future attempt to approach the victim, target women in public parks, or engage in inappropriate behaviour in Brighton or elsewhere will result in immediate arrest and a return to the court system for further incarceration.
