A CONVICTED rapist will be deported to Bangladesh after serving an eight-year sentence.

Poplar resident Abdul Aziz was jailed for his attack on a 19-year-old girl in Blair Street on August 3 last year. The 26-year-old was found guilty of raping the woman outside her home soon after she had said goodnight to her boyfriend.

The victim had walked from All Saints DLR with him, and continued to walk along East India Dock Road after leaving him at his home address.

She told officers she was approached at the junction of Chrisp Street by Aziz, who asked her for a lighter. He then tried to engage her in conversation and followed her along East India Dock Road. As she was about to enter a block of housing just after 10pm the man pushed her into some bushes and threatened to kill her before launching the sex attack.
