Man convicted of rape given a restraining order
A man who raped a teenage girl has been given a restraining order permitting him from ever contacting her.
Vinay Parmar was given the order at Leicester Crown Court on Thursday (5 November) following Parmar being sentenced last month to 10 years in prison.
The 54-year-old of no fixed address was found guilty of two counts of rape of a girl aged 13 to 15 in August, and he was sentenced at the same court on Friday 23 October.
During the trial, Parmar denied raping the victim at an address in Leicester on Friday 2 August 2024.
After police received a report, an investigation followed, and Parmar was arrested.
He denied the allegation but after further enquiries – which included forensic evidence he was charged and stood trial where he was found guilty.
Detective Constable Alex Byrant, who was the investigating officer, said: “This was clearly distressing for the victim who called police as soon as she left the address.
“We admire and thank her for her courage in reporting this incident to officers and for working with us throughout the course of the investigation.
The not guilty plea by Parmar gave her no choice to not attend court and give evidence against him.
This no doubt would have been extremely difficult time for the girl and her family, and with her support, Parmar has been placed behind bars and banned from ever making contact with her.
“If you have been a victim of a sexual offence then please speak with someone about it and please report it to us.
“We treat all reports of rape and sexual assault extremely seriously and have specially trained officers in place who will provide advice and support to you throughout the investigation.”
