Rapist Who Used Google Translate to Tell Potential Victims ‘I Want to Make Love to You’ Jailed

A rapist who used Google Translate to tell potential victims ‘I want to make love to you’ has been jailed.

Mustafa Ogur was sentenced to 16 years for raping a woman in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, in the early hours of Sunday, July 21, last year.

CCTV showed Ogur, 24, preying on potential victims before the attack.

Witnesses described how he used Google Translate on his phone to tell them ‘I want to make love to you’.

Ogur was charged with rape and sexual assault on July 25 after officers raided his home.

They found him in the shower, having shaved his hair in an attempt to change his appearance and evade capture.

Ogur, of Brookend Street, Ross-on-Wye, was found guilty of raping the woman after a trial at Worcester Crown Court.

He was sentenced yesterday, Monday, April 7.

Following his prison sentence, he will remain on extended licence for eight years. He will also be subject to a lifetime sexual harm prevention order.

Det Insp Ben Pearson, of Herefordshire CID, said: “It takes such bravery to first report and then talk about such a horrific experience, and I commend the victim, who has shown incredible strength and courage throughout the investigation and trial.

“I understand nothing will ever take away the pain and suffering from such an experience. I am pleased with the sentencing given to Ogur.

“I’m unsure if a person capable of such an evil crime would reflect on the harm he has caused an innocent person, but I do know Ogur is a dangerous individual who will thankfully no longer be among our community for some time.

“It is never too late to report a sexual offence and if you have been a victim or you know someone who has been a victim of this crime, please know we are here to listen to you and support you through every step of the process.”
