In 2019, the Offender Database recorded that Hemin Salimpirik, then 33, of Abertridwr, Caerphilly, South Wales, was jailed for 17 years for orchestrating a gang rape at his own home. On Tuesday, 23 July 2019, he was sentenced at Newport Crown Court after being found guilty by a jury. The court reported that Salimpirik was the “prime mover” of the enterprise, inviting the woman to his property before ushering her into a trap where four other men were waiting to assault her.
The investigation established that Salimpirik initiated the abuse by telling the victim to “come to daddy” after the spiked drink had taken effect. Gwent Police reported that while two other men participated and a fifth watched without assisting, only Salimpirik and Rahim faced these specific charges. The prosecution reported that the defendant’s plan to have sex with the woman “come what may” was a premeditated and “vile” conspiracy that left the survivor suffering from nightmares and forced her to move house for her own safety in South Wales.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
Judge Jeremy Jenkins noted that it must have been obvious to all involved that the victim was unable to give meaningful consent due to her drugged state. For their actions in Caerphilly, South Wales, the defendants were told they had shown a complete lack of care for the woman’s welfare. The judge noted that the victim had been forced to relive her “harrowing” ordeal during a trial where both men continued to deny the allegations despite the overwhelming evidence of their “depraved” conduct.
The judge highlighted that Salimpirik’s role as the orchestrator warranted the lengthier 17-year term. For his part in the gang rape in South Wales, Rahim was handed 15 years. The judge noted that the protection of the community necessitated significant custodial sentences and life-long monitoring to reflect the “vicious” and predatory nature of the attack carried out by the group in Abertridwr, Caerphilly.

As members of the Sex Offenders Register, both Rahim and Salimpirik must comply with notification requirements regarding their identity and residence for the remainder of their lives.
