Fazli Qadeer, a 25-year-old Pakistani man from Peshawar, raped an elderly woman in her seventies while she was bedbound and extremely vulnerable. Qadeer had come to Bristol on a student visa but took up work as a carer after joining his brother who was studying there. He committed the assault when he found out that the victim's family would be away.
During the attack, Qadeer kissed her on the lips, touched her breasts, and subjected her to oral rape. Initially denying the charges, Qadeer later falsely claimed in court that the elderly woman had sexually assaulted him instead. Despite his false claims, Qadeer was sentenced to prison for the sexual assault at a hearing at Bristol Crown Court.
In his letter of apology after the case, Qadeer wrote about growing up in difficult circumstances with much violence and fear, according to defense lawyer Jemima Lovatt's statement.
