🔴 WOLVERHAMPTON PREDATOR GURPREET RANDHAWA JAILED FOR 18 YEARS
Monster predator, 21, lured vulnerable teens to brutal rapes and blackmailed terrified 12-year-old with sick threats – now caged for 18 years in shocking Wolverhampton sex crimes case A man who raped two 15-year-old girls and threatened a 12-year-old girl into sharing indecent images has been jailed for 18 years.
Gurpreet Randhawa, 21, of Wellington Road, Wolverhampton, was sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Thursday, 12 February 2026.
He had pleaded guilty to four counts of rape, two counts of taking indecent images of a child, and two counts of sharing indecent images and engaging in sexual communication with a child.
The offences occurred between July 2024 and September 2025.
Randhawa, who used the alias Ziggy online, persuaded two 15-year-old girls to meet him after contact via social media.
He raped one of the girls on three separate occasions between August and September 2025.
On the final occasion, he drove her to a car park in Wolverhampton and raped her in the back of his vehicle.
When she attempted to resist, he grabbed her by the throat.
The girl disclosed the attack to her school, which notified police.
Officers identified and arrested Randhawa the same day.
Investigators established that Randhawa had also contacted a 12-year-old girl through social media, engaging in sexualised conversations.
He sent her inappropriate videos and images of himself and threatened to harm her if she did not reciprocate by sending indecent images.
He encouraged her to involve friends in doing the same.
Randhawa shared live footage with her of himself having sex with one of the 15-year-old girls.
In another incident involving one of the victims, he smoked drugs with her before forcing himself upon her, without her knowledge that the act was being filmed.
DC Mark Tallis, from West Midlands Police public protection unit, said: “Randhawa targeted and exploited these young girls for his own sexual desires. He persuaded two of the girls to meet him and raped them.
“These were horrific experiences for the girls, as it was for the 12-year-old girl who was threatened if she did not reciprocate his appalling actions in sharing indecent images.
“It was through the courage of the girls in coming forward and telling us about these awful crimes we were able to convict Randhawa for his deplorable behaviour. Their bravery has taken a dangerous man off the streets and prevented others from being targeted.”
During sentencing, Randhawa was placed on the sex offenders register for life.
West Midlands Police praised the victims’ courage in reporting the offences, which enabled a strong case to be presented to the Crown Prosecution Service.
