🔴 PREDATOR JAILED: Afghan migrant, 27, assaulted boys in park

A 27-year-old Afghan immigrant with no fixed address has been jailed for three years after a jury unanimously convicted him of sexually assaulting two nine-year-old boys in a Nottingham park and forcing one to watch pornography.

Dawajan Ahmadzai, born 14 March 1998, was found guilty at Nottingham Crown Court of two counts of sexual assault by touching on a child under 13 and one count of causing a child under 13 to watch a sexual act.

The offences took place on the afternoon of 15 June 2025 at Melbourne Park in Aspley when the boys were playing with friends on go-karts and in the play area.

Sentencing Ahmadzai on Tuesday, Her Honour Judge Julie Warburton described the case as bearing all the hallmarks of predatory behaviour carried out for the defendant’s own deviant sexual pleasure.

“You clearly sought out and pursued contact with these young boys with a view to touching them for your own sexual gratification,” the judge told him.

“I have no doubt this was your intention throughout.”

The jury of seven women and five men took just two hours and eight minutes to reach unanimous guilty verdicts following a week-long trial.

Victim personal statements read to the court by prosecutor Stuart Lody revealed the lasting damage inflicted on the two young victims.

One mother wrote: “Before he was sexually assaulted my son was a bubbly and outgoing child who loved socialising with friends and riding his bike in Melbourne Park.

Now he makes excuses not to go out and has put a barrier up.

The impact has been devastating.”

The second mother stated: “My son has become withdrawn and keeps asking why a grown man would show him dirty videos.

He is petrified the man will come after him again and take him despite constant reassurance that he will not.”

During the trial the court heard that Ahmadzai approached a small group of children, engaged them in conversation and then began touching one boy from behind.

The victim told police: “He came up behind me and started grabbing my belly so I pinched him to get him off.

He moved his hands up and started to massage my shoulders, digging his fingers into my collar bone.
