Man filmed himself raping a woman on his iPad, sentence almost doubled

A 24-year-old Iranian immigrant in UK who filmed himself raping a woman on his iPad had his jail sentence almost doubled on Friday.
Leading judges agreed with Attorney General Dominic Grieve that the original term imposed on Hesam Khosravi at Minshull Crown Court in Manchester in January was "unduly lenient" - and increased it from six to 11 years.
It was argued on Mr Grieve's behalf at the Court of Appeal in London that six years failed to reflect the seriousness of the offence, the need for deterrence and the "public concern that offences like this give rise to".
During the "sustained" attack in Trafford, Greater Manchester, the attacker threatened his victim with a knife.
The appeal judges were told that other "aggravating" features of the case included "deliberate and gratuitous violence" and "degradation and humiliation", which included the filming of the crime on an iPad.
Lady Justice Hallett, sitting with two other judges, said: "Watching the footage was an extraordinarily unpleasant task.
