Prolific child predator Miah to rot in London jail for 20 years

By Kazeem Ugbodaga

A prolific child abuser and rapist, Dulon Miah has sentenced to 20 years imprisonment as part of ongoing commitment by the Metropolitan Police to investigate child abuse and protect women and girls from harm.

Miah, 35 of Tower Hamlets was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Wednesday, 10 July.

The Met Police said Miah was previously found guilty at the same court in April of 18 counts of sexual assault over a 14-year period against two victims, including rapes.

Met officers began investigating Miah in 2022 after one of his victims bravely came forward and told police they had been abused from the age of six-years-old over the span of a decade. Both female victims were known to Miah.

Detective Constable Lucy Bowman who led the investigation, said the police treated cases such as this incredibly seriously and were proud that they had got justice for these victim-survivors, while putting one more dangerous predator behind bars.

She said the Met took its responsibility to protect women and girls incredibly seriously, urging anyone who had been a victim of abuse – no matter how long ago – to come forward to police and get the support they rightly deserve.

The police added that as a result of officers’ efforts, a second victim came forward reporting that they had also been abused by Miah over several years.

They said across both investigations, Met officers displayed care and compassion as they carried out extensive interviews with the victims.

The Met said its officers also gathered detailed medical records to show the extent of the abuse and develop a watertight case against Miah.
