'Predator' who tried to rape sleeping woman at King's Cross station told cops it was 'okay because she wasn't dead' | The Sun
A PREDATOR who tried to rape a sleeping woman at King's Cross station told police it was "okay because she wasn't dead".
Amer Mohamed, 31, approached the woman before exposing himself inside the station at around 5am on July 23 last year.
She awoke to find him forcibly trying to rape her and, despite her attempts to stop him, Mohamed overpowered her and carried on the vile attack for half an hour.
His assault was only stopped when the victim's friend woke up and intervened.
The woman approached police officers later the same morning to report the attempted rape.
She identified Mohamed, who was arrested at the scene and taken into custody.

"It is beyond contemptible that he has not only shown a complete lack of remorse for his actions but actively tried to defend himself, claiming on record that it’s fine have sex with someone if they are asleep.
"I will be absolutely clear that it is not and we will work relentlessly to ensure sexual offenders like him are brought before the courts to face the full force of the law.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to commend the victim for her courage in coming forward and supporting our investigation despite being forced by Mohamed to relive her traumatic ordeal in court.
"It is her bravery which has ensured he has faced justice today."
