A 13-year-old girl in Brighton, UK, was abducted and raped twice, leading to the arrest of 20-year-old Islamist, Hamdan Alshamsi.
He has been charged in connection with the incident that occurred on January 1, 2025. Alshamsi reportedly does not have a registered address, raising concerns about his immigration status and the lack of action to remove him from the UK.

While Alshamsi is currently in custody, details regarding his legal situation remain unclear. Sussex Police issued a statement emphasizing their commitment to addressing sexual violence but did not provide specific actions being taken to enhance public safety in response to this crime. Many community members feel that a stronger police presence in the area is necessary to prevent similar incidents.
The victim’s experience is devastating, and it highlights broader concerns regarding safety for young girls in the community. Critics argue that addressing the influx of individuals with criminal backgrounds is crucial for protecting residents. There is growing frustration that government and law enforcement agencies are not adequately addressing these issues, often downplaying their severity.
Islamic Mayor Mohammed Asaduzzaman has not publicly commented on the situation, which many find disappointing. Advocacy for more vocal leadership in addressing such serious crimes against minors is essential. He did not address the issue, has made no statement regarding the incident or is condemning the actions of his fellow Islamist.
Furthermore, it is concerning that major media outlets in the UK have largely overlooked this incident, relying instead on local reports for coverage. Increased media attention and public discourse are necessary to foster accountability and push for meaningful change.
