An Egyptian illegal migrant who raped a woman in London's Hyde Park while living in a Hilton hotel has been jailed - and will now be deported.

Abdelrahmen Adnan Abouelela, 42, was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison for the rape, which happened in November last year.

'It must have been obvious to you that she was a woman under the influence of alcohol who was alone and vulnerable. You made the decision to take advantage of her vulnerability.
