Brighton man jailed for rape

Aynul Hoque, 32, a chef of New England Road, Brighton, pleaded guilty to one count of rape when he appeared at Lewes Crown Court on January 23, 2021.

His arrest came after police were called by a member of the public shortly before 5am on August 1, 2020, reporting a man appeared to be having sex with a man who was unconscious.

Police said officers quickly attended the scene, to the east of the pier, and found Hoque masturbating in front of the unconscious victim.
