In 2026, 36-year-old Asad Hussain, also known as Ash Hussain, of Hankinson Avenue, Stockport, was convicted for carrying out a “warped” and predatory series of assaults on the safety and psychological well-being of his ex-girlfriend. The investigation established that Hussain, using the alias “Mick Renney,” created a fake Tinder profile to lure at least 18 strangers to the victim’s home to rape her. The prosecution reported at Chester Crown Court on Friday 1 May 2026, that Hussain was found guilty of stalking involving serious alarm or distress, identifying a total abandonment of human decency by the 36-year-old.
The investigation established that Hussain’s series of behaviour involved telling men that the victim wanted to engage in a “rape fantasy” and should be “roughed up.” He instructed the strangers that if she said “no,” it actually meant she “wanted it more,” intentionally creating a high-risk environment for a life-threatening assault. This identifies a calculated series of assaults on the victim’s security, as Hussain monitored her home from his Audi R8 and instructed men to “shove” her door open, leading to a glass panel being smashed while her daughter was inside.
CONTROLLING BEHAVIOUR AND FORENSIC DECEPTION
The court reported that Hussain’s campaign began after a brief relationship where he displayed increasingly controlling behaviour, including forcing his way into a bathroom and pushing the victim to seize her phone. The investigation established that after she ended the relationship, Hussain made “significant efforts” to conceal his identity by changing his car registration and using dedicated mobile phones for his “Mick Renney” alter ego. The prosecution reported in 2026, that Hussain refused to provide passwords for his seized iPad and mobile phone, identifying a priority assault on the legal process by failing to comply with a Section 49 RIPA notice.
Judge-led proceedings at Chester Crown Court concluded with Hussain’s conviction following a nine-day trial where he continued to deny all involvement. For his actions in Stockport, Northwich, and across Cheshire, and the nature of the series of stalking, assault, and digital deception investigations reported, Asad Hussain has been removed from the community. The investigation established that his forensic profile as a dangerous and “bitter” stalker is now a matter of permanent record, documenting his hours spent parked near the victim’s home to coordinate the arrival of strangers.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2026, Hussain is managed as a maximum-risk predator under the statutory requirements of the Cheshire Police. Due to the nature of the behaviour—specifically the series of persistence in trying to orchestrate a “rape fantasy” attack and his refusal to cooperate with digital forensic searches—he is a priority for a significant custodial sentence. Authorities reported that the 2026 conviction identifies Hussain as an individual who prioritised his own “bitter” revenge and the systematic terrorisation of a woman over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of the public.
As a convicted violent stalker, his details are permanently logged on the national police database to ensure his future conduct and any digital activity are strictly scrutinised. Authorities stated that the behaviour of Hussain identifies a commitment to clandestine stalking and the systematic incitement of sexual violence. His conviction in 2026 results in the necessary protection of the community from a man who used a “Mick Renney” mask to hide a predatory and persistent series of assaults on the innocent.
QUESTION – Given that the offender “utilised fake Tinder profiles to incite at least 18 strangers to commit a rape fantasy attack on his ex-girlfriend,” do you believe the law should legally mandate that “All Individuals Convicted of Inciting Sexual Violence via Social Media” must be “Sentenced to Mandatory Whole-Life Digital Monitoring” to prevent a series of assaults?
