Written by News on 26/10/2017
A second man will face charges after a 14-year-old girl was raped twice in one evening near a train station in Birmingham.
Mohammed Ismaeel, 22, will appear at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court next month charged with rape in connection with one of the incidents in July.
The girl was attacked in a vehicle outside Witton station after she flagged it down in a confused and disoriented state, having been raped in a separate attack just a few hours before.
Police arrested a different man, Khurram Rahi, 27, from Smethwick, in connection with the first rape at the end of July, and he appeared in court in August.
Officers are now hoping to find the man who took the girl home safely, believing he may have more information about that night.
DCI Tony Fitzpatrick said: "Since both these awful incidents in July, we’ve been working hard to piece together exactly what happened. We are now in a position to charge a man in connection to the incident in the vehicle which happened after the first rape.
"We are still looking to trace the good samaritan who came to the help of the victim shortly after the second rape.
"Seeing the 14-year-old in a distressed state, he drove her home to her family. He is described as a white man, approximately 30 to 40 years old, slim with facial stubble. He was wearing a red and black chequered short sleeve shirt with no collar.
"He spoke with a Birmingham accent and drove a seven-seater family car. The victim remembers that the car had a lot of air fresheners hanging from the rear view mirror. If you are that man, or know someone matching that description, please get in touch as soon as possible. You could help us understand what happened."
