VICTIM OF ON-THE-RUN RAPIST AHMED ABASHAR LIVING IN FEAR AFTER PREVIOUS STALKING INCIDENT
The victim of a rapist who went on the run prior to his conviction has said she is living in fear after being previously stalked by the man in the lead up to the trial.Ahmed Abashar was convicted of rape at Laganside Court on Tuesday, September 30, following a trial, however when he was due to appear on the final day for the verdict, he never appeared.
Abashar had appeared in court throughout the trial and was cross examined before he was found to have raped a woman on March 27, 2023, after they had met for the first time that day on a date where he had used the fake name "Adam".
The woman said: "Before we were due to appear in court for the verdict to be read I had a feeling that he was going to run away and try to avoid it.
He knew he was going to be found guilty.
"Now I am very worried about what could happen now because I have had to deal with him stalking me in the lead up to the trial when he had been following me in Belfast, told me he knows where I live and that he was paying people to follow me.
He is evil and crazy." "My friends have even recently found him on social media dating apps since he has gone on the run using a fake age.
He used a fake name when I had met him, Adam, and lied about his age as well and where he came from, so it is something he does often.
"I just hope that he is able to be found soon."
