An Afghani asylum seeker who entered the UK illegally on a small boat kicked off in court after he was caged for raping a 15-year-old schoolgirl.
Sadeq Nikzad, 29, who claimed he’d not been educated on ‘cultural differences’ repeatedly shouted ‘liar’ at judge John Morris, KC, after he was handed a 12-year extended sentence at Livingston High Court.
The judge hurriedly left the bench as the accused, screaming and gesticulating wildly, was handcuffed by security guards before being led to the cells.
Nikzad will serve nine years in custody followed by three years on licence, go on the sex offenders register and at the end of his sentence, be deported.
The court heard that Nikzad entered the UK illegally two years ago, before subjecting the vunerable teenager to the terrifying oportunistic sex attack in Falkirk town centre in October 2023.
