He has previous convictions for sexual offences and is a registered sex offender.
A man who sexually assaulted a young woman at a house in Blackburn has been jailed. The victim woke up to find Kamran Rashid in the same bed as her in November 2021. The 40-year-old then engaged in sexual activity with her without her consent. The victim was so traumatised that she ran from the scene. Rashid, formerly of Cheetham Street, Blackburn, and now of no fixed address, was arrested later the same day and charged with rape.
This was made up of nine years and nine months immediate custody followed by four years and three months on an extended licence. Det Chief Sarah Fyans, of Lancashire Police’s East Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Unit, said: “Rashid is a dangerous pervert who committed this heinous offence on a really vulnerable young woman. “Rashid knew exactly what he had done but made the victim wait until the day before she was due to give evidence in court before entering his guilty plea.
