A ZIMBABWEAN teenager tricked a student into an alleyway and then raped her after pretending to show her where to catch a safe bus home.
The girl, who was 19 at the time, was waiting near the Headrow in Leeds to catch the bus in the early hours of November 11 after a night out, when she was approached by Njabula Ngwenya.
CCTV cameras showed how she was guided by him to an alleyway which led to the rear yard behind a pub.
As soon as she got there she knew something was wrong and told him: “This isn’t right, it is not the right way,” Mehran Nassiri prosecuting told Leeds Crown Court yesterday.
As she turned to walk away Ngwenya grabbed her arm and pulled her into the yard. He pushed her on to the ground near bags of rubbish and when she began to shout he put at least one hand on her throat and applied pressure.
She was no longer able to scream and was struggling for breath. She was petrified and trying to kick out as he told her: “Shut up or I’ll kill you.”
Fearing for her life she told him to do what he wanted but to let her go. He bit her neck before he pulled down her lower clothing and raped her without using any protection.
Afterwards he left the scene and rejoined a friend who was waiting outside the alley. The traumatised student made her way out to the road where she was seen in a distressed state by police officers and told them: “I’ve just been raped.”
