Man admits rape and religiously aggravated abuse of Sikh woman
John Ashby, 32, pleaded guilty on the second day of his trial at Birmingham Crown Court to charges of rape, robbery, intentional strangulation, and religiously aggravated assault against a Sikh woman he attacked in her Walsall home in October 2025; during the assault, he subjected her to anti-Muslim abuse after misidentifying her faith. The judge has indicated he is considering a life sentence for Ashby, who was arrested two days after the attack and identified by the victim in a police lineup, with the trial briefly interrupted by a member of the public confronting him in the dock.
