A vile rapist who followed his victim for hours before committing the heinous attack is set to be deported.
Nzar Salah, of Derrington Avenue, Crewe, was sentenced after he was earlier found guilty of three counts of rape following a 14-day trial.
Chester Crown Court heard that the victim was out walking in Crewe on Sunday 23, July 2023 when she was first approached by Salah.
The 28-year-old, who is originally from Iraq, then followed the victim and sexually harassed her for hours before going on to commit the attack.

DS Banusic of Cheshire Police added: "Securing justice for the victim and ensuring the local community is safeguarded from this dangerous and depraved individual has been our number one priority throughout this investigation.
"In addition, as Salah is originally from Iraq, we will now be starting the process to enable him to be deported once he has served his sentence."
