Face of Leicester rapist jailed for 10 years after attack on teenage girl

A man who raped a teenage girl has been given a restraining order permitting him from ever contacting her.

Vinay Parmar was given the order at Leicester Crown Court on Thursday (5 November) following Parmar being sentenced last month to 10 years in prison.

The 54-year-old of no fixed address was found guilty of two counts of rape of a girl aged 13 to 15 in August, and he was sentenced at the same court on Friday 23 October.

During the trial, Parmar denied raping the victim at an address in Leicester on Friday 2 August 2024.

After police received a report, an investigation followed, and Parmar was arrested.

He denied the allegation but after further enquiries – which included forensic evidence he was charged and stood trial where he was found guilty.
