More infoA Middlesbrough man jailed for trying to rape a child is making a second attempt to appeal his conviction and 18-year prison sentence. Nashaat, 43, formerly of Diamond Road, was found guilty of two counts of attempted rape. A single judge blocked Nashaat's initial application to appeal his conviction and sentence handed out at Teesside Crown Court in September 2023. During his trial at Teesside Crown Court, Nashaat continued to deny the charges forcing his victim to give evidence. Nashaat was jailed for 11 years - one year of which to be served on extended licence - for the attempted rape of a child, and an additional eight years for the attempted rape on a person over the age of 16.
