Belfast, Northern Ireland – 22-year-old Ahmad Alsabaihi, a Syrian refugee, has been found guilty of raping an unconscious, drunk woman in Northern Ireland. As a result, he’s been sentenced to three years in prison, according to The Irish Post. The rape occurred in June 2022 after Alsabaihi and a friend, following a night out at a Belfast city center nightclub, encountered the victim, who was already heavily intoxicated.

The two took advantage of her vulnerable state, deceiving her into thinking there was an after-party at a nearby house. Upon arrival, the victim’s condition significantly worsened. Despite this, Alsabaihi had sexual intercourse with her while she was unconscious around 5:00 am.

Alsabaihi claimed that the victim had consented before losing consciousness. However, the prosecution proved that she could not have remembered giving consent due to her extremely high blood alcohol level, measured at 425 milligrams per 100 milliliters.

Despite Alsabaihi’s expressions of regret and admission of causing harm, his actions were deemed inexcusable. He was found guilty of rape and sentenced to only three years in prison, with a subsequent three-year supervision period following his release. Many are questioning why Ireland is not immediately deporting the rapist once he serves his very short prison sentence.
