A Jaguar Land Rover worker jailed after raping a student who came to Birmingham for a night out.
The court heard the attack had affected every aspect of the 17-year-old victim’s life who had suffered nightmares and panic attacks.
Usman Waheed, 24, of Gough Road, Sparkhill, had previously been convicted of rape following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
He was sentenced to six-and-a-half years and ordered to register as a sex offender for life.
The victim and a female friend, also 17, travelled from Preston on December 11 2016 and using fake identity they had tried to get into the Rainbow Club in Digbeth but was refused entry.
The two girls had then became stranded because they could not get a train home until the next morning.
Timothy Harrington, prosecuting said: “The victim was particularly vulnerable in the circumstances she found herself in.
“She was just 17 in a strange city with nowhere to go.”
She had then met Waheed, who was with others, and he had then driven her to a secluded industrial estate near Birmingham airport where he raped her in the back of the car.
In a statement the victim said what happened had a “massive effect” on her life.
It had made her feel more vulnerable and had impacted on her social life and her academic studies.
In passing sentence Judge Roderick Henderson said: “She came with a friend from the North East to Birmingham for a night out.
“They were not as mature and sophisticated as they thought they were and they were not able to get in the club.
“They crossed the path of you and some of your friends.”
The judge said he had taken into account the “unusually extreme effect” of the incident on her and that she had been “utterly devastated.”
He went on “You knew that she was lost and far from home.
“I accept there was some consensual activity but there came a point when she did not want it to go on further.
“That was crystal clear to you but you carried on and raped her.”
Trevor Meegan, defending, said it was not a case in which Waheed, who was the sole bread winner in his family, had deliberately lured the victim to the industrial estate.
