A small boat migrant has been found guilty of two counts of rape after dragging a woman into his tent at a homeless encampment.
Moustafa Elbohy, 32, used the Google Translate app to tell his victim, “I want to f**k you”, before attacking her.
The woman, who cannot be named, had been out drinking with work colleagues in central London on September 20 2025, when she encountered Elbohy and a group of men.
Southwark Crown Court heard that the woman was “interested in the language they were speaking”, Arabic, as there “is a lovely Middle Eastern community” where she lived.
Jurors were told that despite her interest in Arabic, she did not speak or understand the language.
Following their initial encounter, the woman was then taken by Elbohy under the Hungerford Bridge towards a homeless encampment.
The victim recalled walking a short distance from the station to a “dark and dingy” place with “tarpaulin-type tents”.
Prosecutor Richard Milne told the court that she had “not felt threatened in any way” by the 32-year-old.
Mr Milne said: “Her recollection is that there was a wall which, she says, he dragged her over.
“There were tents that appeared to be tarpaulin-type tents, blue crinkly material, and there were homeless people living there, one of whom in particular looked very unwell lying on the ground.”
Elbohy is then said to have used Google Translate to tell her that “he wanted to f*** her.”
The prosecution told the court: “She was so scared of what she thought might happen, particularly things like if she had screamed, that he might in fact hurt her.
“She described a very angry man and she was trying to play nice to calm his anger down. She described him as an extremely volatile man.”
Mr Milne added: “She knew she was going to be raped and she just wanted to get it over and done with as quickly as possible.”
Elbohy had entered the UK on a small boat just three months before the attack on June 19, and was put up in a hotel where he made an asylum claim that was refused.
The Egyptian national, whose address was formerly given as the DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton Reading in Wokingham, Berkshire, denied two charges of rape, oral and vaginal.
He claimed that the woman had consented to sex.
The woman said she felt “violated, horrible” and also “I felt (I wanted him to) get it over with, he’s got what he wanted, it’s done.”
She said: “I felt fear and scaredness, I felt disgusting.”
Elbohy will be sentenced on November 17.
