Refugee Sentenced for Assault in Edinburgh | Dublin News

A Ukrainian refugee turned UK resident, Olaksandr Dupik, has been jailed for four years after pleading guilty to attempting to rape a heavily intoxicated woman in Edinburgh. The attack occurred in a dark alley where she couldn’t defend herself; a security guard’s timely intervention stopped Dupik, who fled when confronted. The judge praised the guard’s bravery and emphasized the severity of Dupik’s actions, which were deemed appalling. Dupik, who met the victim only that night, claimed consensual kissing but denied any sexual contact. He’s now on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely and banned from contacting the victim.
