A man has been jailed for more than eight years after raping and sexually assaulting a woman at his address in Hatfield.
Russhaun Thompson-Mohalland, aged 23, appeared at St Albans Crown Court on Friday 2 May.
He was sentenced to:
- Eight years and three months for rape
- Six years for assault by penetration (to run concurrently)
Thompson-Mohalland was found guilty of the offences on Wednesday 5 March, following a trial. A majority verdict found him guilty of rape and a unanimous verdict was given for the sexual assault. He was remanded into custody ahead of sentencing.
The jury heard that on the night of 15 February 2021, Thompson-Mohalland was contacted by a woman known to him. She had been on a night out and needed a place to stay.
She arrived at Thompson-Molland’s address and the offences took place shortly afterwards when he believed she was asleep.
The woman left his address and called the police. Thompson-Mohalland was arrested in the early hours of 16 February 2021.
Investigator Laura Harrison said: “I commend the victim for her immense courage and strength in coming forward to report these incidents to the police, and for her continued support in ensuring that justice is served.
“Thompson-Mohalland preyed upon her vulnerability for his own sexual gratification. He will now serve a considerable number of years in prison, during which I hope he will reflect deeply on the trauma, pain, and lasting impact that his abusive and despicable behaviour has caused.
“I hope this sentence can provide some comfort and reassurance to the public that we, the police, take these allegations extremely seriously. In addition to the custodial sentence, Thompson-Mohalland will also be placed on the Sex Offenders Register.
