Heartbreaking and powerful testimony led to the conviction of a man for horrific crimes committed over 40 years ago. Mohammad Haddad, 70, from Newport, was jailed for six years for attempted rape and indecent assault. The victim, who was a young girl in the 1990s when Haddad’s crimes occurred, bravely shared how the assaults left her feeling “disconnected” and fighting “invisible battles” that changed her life forever.
Despite Haddad’s age and health issues, the judge stressed the profound impact of his actions. It’s a potent reminder of the enduring effects of such crimes on survivors.
