Man guilty of rape after woman's phone recording
Ayman Al-Shammari denied rape but was found guilty by a jury after a trial
A man has been found guilty of raping a woman whose mobile phone recording provided key evidence for police.
Ayman Al-Shammari, 28, was found guilty by a jury at Bristol Crown Court on Friday after a trial.
The court heard Al-Shammari and the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, started to have consensual sex on 14 November 2025 but he did not stop after she asked.
She was able to unlock her phone and record what was happening, the court heard, and that she was described as sounding in pain, upset and crying.

Al-Shammari, a Kuwaiti national living in Taunton, was remanded in custody to be sentenced on 27 November.
Al-Shammari denied rape but was found guilty by a majority verdict.
The jury heard Al-Shammari had known the woman for a few weeks, having met her on a night out, and they had slept together once.
On the night of the incident, he tried to persuade her to come out for the evening and when she said no, he convinced her to let him come to her home.
