RYAN MULHERN OF HARINGEY PLEADS GUILTY TO RAPE AFTER HORRIFYING ATTACK IN LONDON NEIGHBOURHOOD

In a disturbing case that has shocked the local community, Ryan Mulhern, aged 41, of Hornsey Lane in Haringey, has admitted to the heinous crime of raping a woman he met through a dating application. The incident took place on the evening of March 21, when Mulhern invited the 25-year-old victim to his residence in Haringey after they had been communicating online.

According to reports, the woman was subjected to a brutal assault despite her repeated pleas for him to stop. The assault occurred at Mulhern’s home, where he committed the act of rape. Fortunately, the victim managed to escape from the premises, fleeing into the street in a state of distress. She was later found crying on Hornsey Lane by a member of the public who immediately contacted emergency services.

Police officers arrived at the scene around 9:50 pm and took the woman to a local Haven the following day, where she received specialized support and care. The authorities launched an extensive investigation into the incident, which included a thorough search for Mulhern. Initial efforts to locate him proved unsuccessful, prompting a resource-intensive manhunt involving multiple police teams deploying various tactics across different locations.

Despite the challenges, the police managed to apprehend Mulhern in Islington on March 22, just a day after the assault. He was promptly charged with serious criminal offenses and remanded in custody as the investigation continued. The police worked diligently to gather evidence to ensure he would be removed from the streets and held accountable for his actions.

On Friday, April 21, Mulhern appeared before Snaresbrook Crown Court, where he pleaded guilty to charges of rape and attempted rape. His plea marks a significant step in the legal process, and he is scheduled to be sentenced at a later date. The case has brought to light the dangers faced by individuals meeting strangers online and underscores the importance of safety and vigilance in such situations.
