In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Mohammed Umar Khan, 42, of Oakland Avenue, Manchester, was jailed for 16 years for the “bizarre” and violent rape of a woman. On appearing at Bradford Crown Court for sentencing via video link from HMP Leeds, it was reported that Khan was convicted of offences including rape and false imprisonment. The court reported that the predator’s conduct included dressing in women’s clothing and full make-up to surreptitiously spy on his victim.
The investigation established that Khan’s behaviour was part of a wider pattern of obsession and control. West Yorkshire Police reported that the defendant was seen smirking during his court appearance, showing no remorse for the “perverted” nature of his crimes. The prosecution reported that Khan, who had a history of violence and domestic abuse in Manchester, used his deceptive disguises to facilitate a sustained period of stalking and trauma for his victim in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Khan’s history included three previous convictions for six offences, including controlling and coercive behaviour and battery. Bradford Crown Court heard how the defendant’s obsession with his victim led to the “bizarre” incident of cross-dressing as a surveillance tactic. The prosecution reported that the strength of the evidence regarding the false imprisonment and subsequent rape in Bradford necessitated a substantial custodial sentence to reflect the “dangerous” nature of the offender.
Judge Watson noted that Khan’s lack of remorse and his calculated attempts to spy on the victim demonstrated a high level of risk to the public. For his actions in Bradford and Manchester, Khan was sentenced to 16 years in prison. The judge noted that the defendant’s behaviour was not only “perverted” but represented a significant escalation from his previous history of coercive control and domestic violence.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Khan is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) at the highest level of oversight by West Yorkshire Police, Greater Manchester Police, and the prison estate. Due to the “bizarre” nature of his spying tactics and his history of violence in Manchester, his management is subject to intensive scrutiny by the Public Protection Unit.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register, Khan must comply with notification requirements regarding his identity and residence for the remainder of his life. Authorities state that his history of false imprisonment and the use of disguises to stalk his victim necessitates permanent and stringent monitoring of his conduct. Any further sexual misconduct or breach of his life-long notification requirements in Bradford, Manchester, or elsewhere will result in immediate legal action and a return to the court system for further incarceration.
