Stoke man convicted of raping a woman in Winsford after four-day trial
A man from Stoke-on-Trent has been convicted of raping a woman at a home in Winsford, Cheshire.
Abu Musa, 21, of Dyke Street, Hanley, was found guilty of rape and assault by penetration following a four-day trial at Chester Crown Court which concluded today (14 April).
Following his conviction, it can now be revealed at a second man, Abdulrahman Hassan, 22, of Eden Street, Oldham, had already pleaded guilty to two counts of rape, assault by penetration and voyeurism in relation to the same incident.
Both men have been remanded in custody and are set to appear at Chester Crown Court on Friday 21 April where a sentencing date will be set.
During the trial the court heard how the victim was on a night out with another woman at a club in Nantwich on Saturday 11 June 2022.
The pair were due to go home around 2am on Sunday 12 June, but missed their lift and decided to stay until closing.
They left the club at 3am and went to a nearby takeaway where they met Musa and Hassan who offered to give them a lift home to Winsford.
After returning home to Winsford, the second woman left and went to bed.
Musa and Hassan stayed with the victim, who was already intoxicated, and plied her with further alcohol.
The pair then went on to rape and sexually assault the woman.
The incident was reported to Cheshire Constabulary who launched an investigation, leading to the arrest of Musa and Hassan.
Following their arrests officers discovered video footage on Musa's phone which showed Hassan raping the victim.
After being shown the footage Hassan pleaded guilty to the charges against him.
However, while Musa admitted voyeurism in relation to filming the video without the victim's consent, he denied raping the victim.
Despite his denial Musa was charged with rape, voyeurism and assault by penetration.
