Zayed Alanzi

Zayed Alanzi, a 26-year-old asylum seeker in Hull, was convicted of sexually assaulting a mother who was in a suicidal state at the time. The assault took place during a moment of extreme vulnerability for the victim.

Humberside Police investigated the incident promptly after the victim's disclosure, gathering evidence that included medical reports and Alanzi's own admissions. In court at Hull Crown Court, the defence argued vulnerability on Alanzi's part, but the prosecution stressed the predatory nature of the offence.

The judge commented, 'Exploiting someone's distress is reprehensible.' Alanzi was jailed, with the sentence aimed at deterrence. This case illustrates the challenges in protecting vulnerable individuals within communities.
