'I am constantly terrified': Victim hits out at decision to let Somalian rapist stay in Scotland
Updated 19:19, 30 Oct 2016
ANGELA Coutts, who was raped by Abdalla Ali Hemed in 2004, has spoken out after the Court of Session ruled he should not be deported to his home country.
A VILE rapist is using human rights laws to avoid being deported from Scotland.
Abdalla Ali Hemed was convicted of raping two women in 2008 and assaulting two others with intent to rape.
One of his victims was aged 17 and was forced to run naked through the streets of Aberdeen to escape Hemed’s clutches.
The judge who jailed him for nine years called Hemed “a danger to women” and ordered that he should be deported to Somalia following his release.
But after completing his sentence, Hemed launched a legal challenge to his deportation, arguing his human rights would be breached if he was returned to his home country.
Hemed, 52, received almost £70,000 from the Scottish Legal Aid Board to fight his case.
Last week, judges at the Court of Session ruled in his favour, allowing him to stay in Scotland.
One of his victims, Angela Coutts, has waived her right to anonymity and has spoken out, calling for Hemed to be expelled from the country.
She was raped during a party at his flat in Aberdeen in 2004. She passed out and then fled naked after waking to find herself being attacked. She got pregnant and was forced to have an abortion.
Angela is devastated Hemed is to be allowed to stay in Scotland.
She said: “He should be sent back to his own country or locked up here for the rest of his life.
