Mehmet Bulut jailed for six years over attempted rape in Hereford subway
Mehmet Bulut, 31, was jailed for attempting to rape a woman in a late-night attack in a Hereford subway. The case matters because the court described the assault as terrifying and classified him as a dangerous offender.
Worcester Crown Court heard that Bulut followed the woman at about 4am, assaulted her, left and then returned to attack her again. He admitted attempted rape and received six years in prison followed by three years on extended licence; the court was told he arrived in the UK by small boat in December 2022 and had no previous convictions.
