Six years in prison for man who attempted rape

A man has been jailed for six years for attempting to rape a woman in Salford.

Sediq Ali (34), of Waldrons Moor, Birmingham, was found guilty of attempted rape at Minshull Street Crown Court, on Monday.

Police were called to reports of an incident in Salford on October 30, 2020. Ali had threatened the woman before subjecting her to an attempted rape.

Following an investigation, Ali was arrested and charged with the offence.

Now he must sign the sex offenders register and is subject to a restraining order.

Detective constable Warren Robinson said: “Ali subjected a woman to a degrading, humiliating experience and I am glad that he is behind bars where he belongs.

“His disgusting behaviour has no place in society and I would like to thank the victim for her bravery in this investigation.

“If you ever want to report anything to the police, please do so – we will always listen to you and work to see you get the justice that you deserve.”

Report and support

If you or someone you know has been a victim of rape or sexual assault, you can report it to the police by calling 101 or 999 in an emergency. More information can be found at: www.gmp.police.uk).
