A THUG who repeatedly raped a student in a Manchester park, was today starting a 12-year prison term.
Ali Majid Kadir 21, of Upper Chorlton Road, Whalley Range, was found guilty of three counts of rape at Manchester Crown Court.
He was sentenced to 12-years on each charge, but the terms will run concurrently.
He has also been ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Police are still hunting a second man who was an accomplice to the violent attack which happened on Sunday September 21 last year.
The court was told that the pair took advantage of the victim, who was in her 20s and had lost her way, after leaving a friend's home in Longsight.
She asked them for directions, and they offered to help her find her way.
The three walked around for about an hour, before the men led her to Alexandra Park, where Kadir and the second man began drinking alcohol, and smoking cannabis.
The victim became uncomfortable and attempted to walk off, but was grabbed by one of the men, stripped naked and repeatedly raped.
After the men left, the woman got dressed and made her way onto a nearby street where she hailed a taxi which dropped her off outside the Queen of Hearts pub on Wilmslow Road, Fallowfield.
She was met by a friend who described the victim as being 'hysterical' and 'shaking vigorously'.
An investigation was launched by police, and Kadir was eventually charged after DNA samples linked him to the rapes.
Det Con Charlotte Nutter, of Longsight CID, said: "The victim was clearly lost and becoming upset when she came across Kadir and the other man. He used the situation to his advantage and subjected the woman to a completely vile attack. Understandably the victim is still haunted by what has happened but I hope this sentence will help her move on in some small way. I am pleased Kadir will now spend many years behind bars where he belongs."
Police are still hunting Mamand Rasoulpour in connection with the attack.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call Longsight CID on 0161 856 1376.

And why do we have this nonsensical rule about time off for good behaviour? When the sentence is decided, is it on the basis that the defendant will be incredibly badly behaved while in prison? Again, a load of nonsense.
Once a rapist always a rapist. He'll still be young when he gets out, and just as dangerous. I'd have him chemically castrated.
Thanks goodness that his DNA was on file so that he could be caught quickly. Human Rights activists please take note.
