In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Rana Jahangir, 25, of Collington Close, Manchester, was jailed for the sexual assault of a woman in Northwich, Cheshire. On Friday, 27 February 2026, the defendant was found guilty following a trial at Chester Crown Court. The court reported that Jahangir, a food delivery driver, attacked a woman at her home on Shipbrook Road in Rudheath on 2 September 2025.
The investigation established that after delivering food, Jahangir grabbed the victim from behind and subjected her to non-consensual hugging and kissing for over a minute. Cheshire Constabulary reported that despite the victim’s repeated requests for him to stop, the assault continued. The prosecution reported that although Jahangir claimed the interaction was consensual, he was unaware that part of the incident had been recorded on a mobile phone, providing conclusive evidence of his guilt in Northwich, Cheshire.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that the victim initially complained to the delivery company before being encouraged by friends to contact the police the following day. Chester Crown Court heard how Jahangir abused his position as a service worker to target the woman in the privacy of her own home. The prosecution reported that the digital recording played a vital role in disproving the defendant’s lies and ensuring a conviction for sexual assault in Rudheath, Cheshire.
The judge noted the predatory nature of the attack and the breach of security felt by the victim. For his actions in Northwich, Cheshire, Jahangir was sentenced to two years and four months in prison. The judge noted that the custodial term would be accompanied by a 10-year requirement to register as a sex offender and a strict restraining order prohibiting any future contact with the survivor.
