In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Mohammed Mohammed, 24, remains a high-risk prisoner following a sustained and predatory sexual attack on a woman in a pub. On appearing at Teesside Crown Court, the defendant—a refugee from Sudan living in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham—was sentenced to nearly six years in prison. It was reported that in July 2024, Mohammed targeted intoxicated women in a Darlington pub, eventually following a victim into a toilet cubicle where he used force and trickery to sexually assault her.
The investigation established the calculated nature of Mohammed’s behaviour throughout the evening. Durham Constabulary reported that Mohammed deliberately stationed himself near the female toilets for thirty minutes, harassing multiple women by blocking their paths and attempting to kiss them despite their clear rejections. The prosecution reported that when the victim tried to use the facilities, Mohammed followed her, knocked on the cubicle door claiming to be a bouncer, and pushed her against a wall to grope her once the door was opened. The investigation established that the attack only ended when a friend entered the room and distracted him.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Mohammed was a dishonest offender who attempted to frustrate the legal process. Teesside Crown Court heard that after initially admitting the assault, Mohammed spent a year attempting to vacate his plea, a move rejected by the judge that caused significant further distress to the survivor. The investigation established that Mohammed lied to police upon his arrest, claiming he had heard the woman screaming and had only entered the toilets to help her.
Judge Jonathan Carroll noted that Mohammed was a dangerous offender who posed a high risk of serious harm to the public. For his actions in Darlington, the judge stated that Mohammed’s conduct drove a dagger into the sense of safety for all women wanting to enjoy a night out. The judge noted that while Mohammed’s status as a refugee was acknowledged, his claims about his past were viewed with skepticism due to his proven dishonesty during the criminal proceedings.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Mohammed is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) at the highest level of scrutiny. Due to the nature of his conduct in Darlington, which involved the deliberate targeting of vulnerable, intoxicated victims and the use of physical force in a confined space, his management is a maximum priority for the Durham Constabulary Public Protection Unit. Authorities state that his extended licence ensures he will remain under intense supervision for nearly a decade, with any breach resulting in an immediate return to prison.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register for life, Mohammed must comply with all notification requirements regarding his residence, travel, and identity. Authorities state that his history of using trickery and force in County Durham necessitates permanent vigilance by local offender management teams. Any future attempt to approach women in public venues, fail to disclose his location, or breach the terms of his extended licence will result in his immediate recall to custody.
