'I was arrested instead of my attacker - the foot-fetish rapist was free for years'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A mum was arrested after being sexually assaulted by a foot-fetish rapist - leaving the predator free for nearly two years. Helen Ingham, 48, called police after she was attacked by hotel manager Ahmed Fahmy, 45, who targeted multiple other women over more than 15 years.

But cops missed the chance to arrest him and handcuffed Helen instead - locking her in a cell overnight when she became angry that her accusations were not taken seriously.

Perverted Fahmy was allowed to go free and was only brought to justice nearly two years later, when two more women reported he raped or sexually assaulted them at another hotel.

He was also found guilty of sexually assaulting Helen - and another woman in 2008. Helen, who has waived her right to anonymity, said she had been staying at an upmarket ‘yacht hotel’ after a Stormzy concert when she was attacked.
