In 2022, Muhammad Hesham, the Luton Rapist, A then 32-year-old man, was incarcerated for attempted rape and sexual assault of a lady in Maidenhead.
Muhammad Hesham of Russell Rise, Luton, received a nine-year prison sentence at Reading Crown Court on September 27.
In September of the previous year, the victim entered Muhammad Hesham’s vehicle, mistakenly supposing it was a taxi.
Nonetheless, it was a vehicle operated by Muhammad Hesham, a somebody unknown to her.
He transported the sufferer to an industrial zone in Holyport.
There, he perpetrated sexual assault and attempted rape.

Last month at Reading Crown Court, the defendant was unanimously convicted by jury verdict on one count each of attempted rape, sexual assault, possession of cannabis, and theft.
