In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Mohsen Farjam, 43, of no fixed abode, was jailed for nine-and-a-half years for the predatory rape of a vulnerable 15-year-old girl. On appearing at Manchester Crown Court on 5 March 2026, the defendant was sentenced for five offences, including two counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault, and one count of sexual assault by penetration. It was reported that the attack occurred in July 2018 after Farjam groomed the victim by pretending to offer her sympathy and support.
The investigation established that Farjam targeted the girl, who has a neurodevelopmental condition, while she was alone and upset in Stockport, Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester Police reported that Farjam convinced the victim to accompany him for food and to charge her devices, before plying her with vodka at a tent where he was living. The prosecution reported that Farjam then ignored the girl’s clear nervousness, carrying out a series of sexual assaults and rapes.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Farjam displayed a total lack of remorse, claiming he had only taken the victim back to his tent to give her a massage and to help the homeless community. Manchester Crown Court heard how detectives worked through tens of thousands of pages of material over several years to secure the conviction. The investigation established that the victim bravely disclosed the attack to a relative immediately after leaving the tent, leading to Farjam’s arrest just hours later.
The Sentencing Judge noted the calculated nature of the grooming, where Farjam spotted a vulnerable child in need and chose to exploit her. For his actions in Stockport, Farjam was handed a nine-and-a-half-year custodial sentence. The judge noted that the extensive work by detectives and the continued support for the victim were essential in bringing a serial-style predator to justice, resulting in Farjam being placed on the sex offenders register for life.

As a member of the Sex Offenders Register for life, Farjam must comply with all notification requirements regarding his identity and residence. Authorities state that his history of child rape in Greater Manchester necessitates permanent vigilance.
