A MIGRANT raped a 12-year-old girl in a flat above the shop where he worked illegally after telling her the streets were “not safe”.
Mohammed Wahid Mohammed lured the victim upstairs with vapes, crisps and a fizzy drink.

She had been taken into the store in Handsworth, West Midlands, by a woman after running away from home.
Mohammed locked the door behind them and repeatedly raped her during the terrifying ordeal.
He has now been jailed for 12 years with an extended five years on licence after he was found guilty of three charges of rape.
The Syrian asylum seeker, who also admitted two counts of sexually assaulting a girl under the age of 13, may be deported after serving his sentence.
Judge Roderick Henderson said: “This was a sustained event, albeit on one day.
“There was some grooming although it was limited in time.
“But you exploited her because she was plainly young and effectively away from home.”
Birmingham Crown Court heard the girl had left her home on September 24 last year and caught a train to the city.
A homeless woman approached her and the pair had a cup of tea before she was taken to the shop.
Once inside, Mohammed told her: “You look really young. You look really cold do you want to come into the shop? It’s warm in there, I’ll get you something to eat and drink’.”
The fiend also told the victim it “wasn’t safe on the streets” and lured her upstairs “under the pretence of being concerned”.
Mohammed sexually abused the girl for an hour before they went to a nearby takeaway.
Andrew Wallace, prosecuting, said: “A young Asian family was there and were concerned about him and her.
“There was a suggestion an Asian male thumped the defendant because of his concern.”
After he was arrested, Mohammed initially claimed the girl had consented to sexual activity but was told she was too young to consent.
Nicholas Devine, defending, said the paedo had led a “difficult life” but had never previously committed a crime.
