A 48-year-old man living in the United Kingdom has been handed a lengthy prison sentence after a British court found him guilty of multiple sex-related offences involving two women he brought into the country.
Identified as Charles Isabirye, the man reportedly lured the women from Uganda with promises of work and accommodation offers that police say turned out to be a trap.
According to Leicestershire Police, the women were subjected to repeated assaults after their arrival. Investigators said one of the victims first approached the police in 2022 but withdrew out of fear, until a second complaint in 2023 led to the reopening of the case.
Following a detailed investigation and trial at the Leicester Crown Court, Isabirye was convicted of four counts of rape, breach of a restraining order, and witness intimidation.
He was sentenced to 17 years in prison and placed on the sex offenders’ register for life. The court also issued a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and barred him from contacting his victims.
Detective Constable Le Boutillier praised the women’s courage, saying their testimony was crucial in securing justice.
“They faced him in court with remarkable strength,” the officer said. “While it cannot erase their pain, knowing he is behind bars brings a measure of closure.”
The case has drawn public attention to the growing issue of cross-border exploitation and trafficking, with authorities warning that many such crimes go unreported.
