Man jailed for raping two teenage girls

Tesform Fisseha attacked the girls in Rugby town centre

A man has been jailed for more than nine years for raping two teenage girls.

Tesform Fisseha, formerly of Rugby in Warwickshire, attacked the girls in the town centre on 27 June 2021.

He pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown Court on 19 September to three counts of raping a female under 16.

Fisseha, 23 and now of Crondal Street, Manchester, was jailed for nine years and six months at the same hearing.

Det Con Thomas Green, from Warwickshire Police, said the force "couldn't be more proud" of the two girls.

"Not only was Fisseha’s offending beyond disgusting, he also lied in his police interview and tried to imply his victims were making things up.

“Fisseha clearly thought his victims would be too frightened to ever say anything – he was wrong.

“And now he can spend the next decade behind bars, contemplating what exactly it was that made him think it was OK to attack two children."
