A 28-year-old Pakistani asylum seeker, Sheraz Malik, was accused of raping an 18-year-old teenager in Nottinghamshire Park, Sutton-in-Ashfield, United Kingdom, in June 2025. This horrific incident gained widespread attention after Reform UK MP Lee Anderson shared details on social media.
According to reports, the rapist has been accused of two counts of horrific rape, involving oral and vaginal assault. A jury of five men and seven women from Birmingham Crown Court took over three hours to deliver a unanimous guilty verdict.
What’s the Rape Case?
A testimony underscored that Malik and another unidentified man allegedly raped the 18-year-old woman at Sutton Lawn Park. After another man initially attempted to rape the woman, Malik then took her to a secluded area where he ruthlessly raped her while ignoring her pleas of “no, no, no.”
Through DNA evidence and investigation by Nottinghamshire Police, the offence was unveiled, linking Malik to the case. Following remarks made by MP Lee Anderson on social media in January 2026, the trial soon moved from Nottingham to Birmingham Crown Court to ensure a fair trial.
In a social media post on Facebook and X, Anderson highlighted the suspect’s background as an asylum seeker. His post reportedly prompted protests in his constituency and led a judge to move the trial to Birmingham to ensure a fair trial.
During the conviction, Malik was found guilty by a jury of two counts of rape and cleared of a third. The testimony also highlighted that he is a Pakistani national who lived in Italy, Germany, and France before coming to the UK.
Simon Ash KC, serving as judge at Birmingham Crown Court, remanded Malik into custody, and investigations are on for the second suspect.
