Asylum seeker who raped homeless woman with 'extreme violence' complemented by judge for prison conduct

Ullah, who arrived in the country on a student visa from Pakistan, punched his victim to the ground and throttled her before raping her multiple times.

Despite the gruesome nature of his crimes, Ullah was praised by a judge for his behaviour behind bars.

Judge Fiona Barrie told the sex offender "custody will have been difficult for you", according to The Sun on Sunday.

She gave the prisoner "credit" for using his time in custody "constructively".

"English is not your first language, and you have had some difficulties with your mental health," she said.

"It is to your credit that you are using your time in custody constructively to improve your education and that you are an enhanced prisoner."

Enhanced prisoners have earned higher privileges such as more spending money, visits and time out of cells.

During the trial, Judge Barrie had described the violence used in the attack as "extreme", adding that he showed no remorse for his actions.

"The violence used in this attack was extreme," she said.

"Your victim suffers recurring nightmares. She cannot sleep."

She added: "You presented yourself as a man who could be trusted.

"A religious man, a man of integrity, a man concerned for her welfare who likened her to a family relative."

"You have not shown any remorse and continue to see yourself as the unwilling victim".
