Man Jailed for Rape of Vulnerable Woman in Leicester

A man who raped a vulnerable woman in a Leicester park has been jailed for six and a half years.
The young woman had been on a night out in Leicester last September and was alone in Jubilee Square when she was approached by Gagandeep Gulati, 20. He led her to the secluded Castle Gardens, where he raped and sexually assaulted her. During the attack, Gulati recorded the assault and later shared clips with friends, resulting in an additional charge of sharing an intimate film.
After the incident was reported, diligent investigations led detectives to his accommodation at Peacock Lane, where CCTV footage helped identify him.
In an interview, Gulati denied the accusations and made the extraordinary claim that he was the victim, alleging that the young woman had targeted and sexually assaulted him.
He was charged with the following offences:
• One count of rape
• One count of assault by penetration
• One count of sexual assault
• One count of sharing an intimate film
He continued to engage in victim blaming throughout the trial at Leicester Crown Court. However, on Friday, 28 March, Gulati, formerly of Peacock Lane, Leicester, was convicted of all charges and sentenced to six years in prison. He was also placed on the sex offender register for life.
Following the sentencing, DC Smith praised the victim’s courage, saying:
