BOLTON, — A rapist who attacked two women in
separate assaults will serve a minimum of six years
behind bars.
Allah Karam, aged 28, of Mancroft Avenue, Daubhill,
was found guilty of four counts of rape, involving
two women, following a trial at Bolton Crown Court
in February.
Karam, an Iraqi Kurd who came to the UK seeking
asylum in 2002, will be deported to serve the
sentence in his native country. |

On Friday, Judge Timothy
Clayson imposed an indeterminate sentence for public
protection on Karam, telling him he will serve a
minimum of six years and 236 day before his case can
go before a parole board.
However, Judge Clayson warned the defendant that he
would only be released when it was deemed that he
was no longer a threat, adding: “Your character and
attitude are in my view worryingly entrenched.
You do represent a significant risk of causing
serious harm to members of the public.”
Judge Clayson added that he had caused “serious and
enduring trauma” to his victims, whom he degraded.
Karam, a factory worker, was also found guilty of
perverting the course of justice after ringing a
friend from prison and asking him to persuade one of
the victims to drop her rape claims.
The trial heard that during one of the rapes he
smoked cannabis and claimed to be God.
He raped one of his victims three times and the
second on one occasion.
Michael Maher, prosecuting, told the jury that the
defendant behaved “in a strange and dangerous
manner; whose attitude, especially to women, is that
they are little more than pawns for his sexual
gratification.”
The jury heard that Karam targeted the women in
their homes in May, 2007, and June, 2009.
Karam lived in Cheetham Hill and Wakefield before
coming to Bolton.
