Swindon Bradford Abbas Rapist
In a significant case that has drawn considerable attention, two men have been found guilty of multiple child sexual exploitation offences and have received substantial prison sentences. The convictions were handed down at Bristol Crown Court, where the severity of their crimes was clearly recognized by the judicial system.
Mehmet Citak, aged 34, hailing from Bradford Abbas in Dorset, and Ahmet Kurtyemez, aged 29, from Swindon in Wiltshire, were both convicted of crimes committed against minors in the Yeovil area. The offences spanned a period from 2011 to 2014, involving six victims who were between 14 and 15 years old at the time of the incidents. Additionally, Kurtyemez was found guilty of an offence against a seventh victim, who was 18 years old at the time.
Citak faced serious charges including two counts of rape and seven counts of sexual assault. His actions and the evidence presented in court led to a conviction that resulted in a sentence of 20 years in prison. His crimes, committed in the Yeovil region, have been described as particularly egregious, reflecting the gravity of the offences against vulnerable minors.
Kurtyemez was convicted of one count of rape and six counts of sexual assault. His sentencing was for 12 years of imprisonment. The court's decision underscores the serious nature of his offences, which also took place in the Yeovil area, and highlights the ongoing efforts to combat child exploitation and protect young victims.
Both men’s sentences serve as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and justice in cases of child sexual abuse. The court's ruling aims to send a clear message that such offences will be met with severe penalties, and it emphasizes the commitment of the justice system to safeguarding minors from exploitation and harm.
