A 31-year-old man stalked girls and women in Helsinki shopping centers between January and April.
In April, he violently raped a woman on a sidewalk near the Tripla shopping center. The man had met the woman inside the shopping center and followed her outside.
He tried to kiss the woman and asked her to come with him. She refused and started walking away.
The man ran after the woman, knocked her to the ground, and came down on her with all his weight. He held his hand over her mouth and nose so that she couldn't breathe, and raped her.
The act was interrupted when an outsider intervened. The man ran away.
The police arrested him the same day.
The man was known to the police. He had been arrested for two days in February after touching two children.
The girls saved by strangers
On February 23, a man sat down next to a 15-year-old girl inside Helsinki Railway Station. When the girl got up from the bench to leave, the man grabbed her buttocks.
Later that day, a man touched the buttocks of a 12-year-old girl in the Itis shopping center.
This was not the first time the man had harassed a minor.
In late January, he sat next to a 17-year-old girl in the Red shopping center. He touched and squeezed her thigh several times against her will. He also stroked her shoulders and tried to kiss her on the lips and cheek.
He asked the girl to sit on his lap or go somewhere else with him, while showing her the condom in his pocket.
The tense situation lasted about twenty minutes. The girl, who was waiting for her friends, did not feel able to leave the situation. She had lent the man her charger before his advances.
The situation was interrupted when girls walking by asked if the 17-year-old was “okay.” He pretended that the girls were his friends and left with them.
Denied almost everything
Serious crimes were heard in the Helsinki District Court this summer. The man was charged with rape, two counts of sexual assault on a child, and sexual harassment.
The man mainly denied committing the crimes.
He claimed he only tried to kiss a teenage girl in Red, but denied touching her. However, the act was recorded on surveillance camera.
In the case of two victims under the age of 16, the man also denied any touching.
Regarding the events in Tripla, the man pleaded guilty to attempted rape. He told the court that he had “wrestled” with the woman.
The district court found all charges proven. The victims' accounts were supported by, among other things, surveillance camera recordings and bystander accounts.
The court would have sentenced the man to three and a half years in prison for the rape alone. The two counts of sexual assault on a child and sexual harassment increased the sentence by a few months.
The Helsinki District Court sentenced Mohammed Ahmed , 31, to three years and ten months in prison for the acts.
Ahmed must compensate the woman he raped 6,000 euros for suffering and 2,000 euros for temporary inconvenience.
Ahmed must compensate his other victims a total of 2,300 euros for the suffering he caused.
In addition, he must pay thousands of euros in legal costs.
Ahmed has been in pretrial detention since April. He remains in custody by decision of the district court.
The judgment issued on July 29 is not final.

Mohammed Ahmed
~4 years is way too little for shit like this
3 years and 10 months for a chronic rapist, what a joke. Really wtf.
Only 4 years for rape in addition to sexually assaulting minors? That cant be true
Can we get the death penalty?
This punishment is not sufficient. Do they know anything about the trauma of that woman? Only 4 years? What a joke!
OP, the headline says a WOMAN was raped on the sidewalk, not WOMEN. Woman is one person. Women is the multiple form.
Grabbing two kids butts and harassing another for 20 minutes grabbing her thigh etc. added 4 months to his sentence lol. 3 and a half years for tackling a woman, restraining and raping her. Then proceeds to deny everything but the rape. Drop him in the middle of the ocean please, he is not fit for rehabilitation. He will come out of prison in 2 years or less and rape again.
Aaaaah. The Finnish rape epidemic continues.
The punishment is far too insufficient, also.
Hard to believe he’s still walking around and breathing.
Hope he gets rented out, to a Eastern European prison.
E:typo
Somehow, when I read Mohammad something I wasn’t surprised.
What happened to people like this getting the shit kicked out of themselves daily in prison? Then a 4 year sentence would be more understandable.
It is so disappointing that someone who was caught raping someone else by witnesses only gets 3 and a half years.
Reminder; most rapes happen behind closed doors and are much harder to prove, which also means that many times the crimes are downgraded to crimes that are easier to prove and carry less of a punishment.
But this guy was literally caught raping someone. They have all the evidence, including video. And still only 3.5 years. Finlands justice system is embarrassing.
If he has to walk free in 3 years from now at least they should chemically castrate him or he will always be a danger to women and girls. It’s crazy how women’s lives are never taken seriously. 3 years for a serial rapist and then he can go back to his normal life.
This is weekly news now. I feel so sad that I can’t do anything to protect the weakest against these animals.
This is insane. I don’t fucking want to see news like that. Punish more rapist. Crack down with stricter laws. VITTU SATANA!!! How more????? Are you all want this shit here?
The man was known to the police. He had been arrested for two days in February after touching two children.
I seriously struggle to understand how shit like this is even allowed to happen …
I don’t want my tax money to be used to feed this cunt behind the bars!!!

Disgusting. Both the crimes and how little the punishment is. 😖😖 😡🤬
How can we make a change?
This is normal in their culture, send his ass back
These laws are unacceptable !!!
ITT: redditors suddenly caring about women getting sexually assaulted because a brown person did it
Fn animal.
This is utterly despicable. He should be deported
Tough luck for the Muslims. Most of them are getting flacks for nothing. And no women want them either, due to their bad rep. Just Ls all around. And they ain’t getting jobs, ain’t progressing romantically, which would create more of these kinds in the future. Desperate men with no future prospect. Aw shit.
Not to be racist but I didn’t even have to guess the name lol
I hope they send that animal back from whatever shithole it came from.
Helsinki has changed. It has changed because it’s no longer safe.
Remigration.
What I don’t get… these come up here every couple of weeks. Outrage, everybody calling for tougher sentences. It seems nobody is content with the current judicial response.
So why is it we are not seeing any political parties (aside from PS, maybe, but onky with the xenophobic twist) really push for tougher laws on sexual crime? There seems to be a public mandate for politicians to run with it.
