Mongolian embassy rapist jailed
Updated 16.29 Fri Jun 06 2008
The teenage son of a Mongolian embassy chauffeur who raped a teenage girl has been jailed.
Javkhlanbayar Gantumur, 18, spotted the 16-year-old college student after she rowed with her grandparents and left home in the early hours to stay with her boyfriend.
He decided to rob her to pay court costs and a compensation order imposed after a conviction for assault four days earlier.
Southwark Crown Court heard his victim was talking to her boyfriend on her mobile when Gantumur grabbed her round the neck at a bus stop near the Albert Memorial in central London.
He told the girl: "Give me your phone, I have a bloody knife", then snatched the handset from her, ending the call, and went on to rape her.
Having forced her to climb Hyde Park's perimeter fence, which had been closed for the night, he forced her to strip behind some bushes then put her through an hour-long ordeal.
Riel Karmy-Jones, prosecuting, said Gantumur stole £130 from the girl's bag - much of it given to her for her 17th birthday the following day - before he finally let her go.
The traumatised youngster eventually managed to beg help from a worker at a nearby casino, then called her boyfriend, who dialled 999 before jumping into his car to find her.
When he arrived, she collapsed at his feet and sobbed: "I didn't want to do it. He made me. I love you."
Gantumur, who lived at the Mongolian embassy in Kensington Court, west London, just yards from the scene of the attack, was arrested within days and his diplomatic immunity was waived.
The court heard he is "connected by immediate blood relatives" to very senior elements of the government of Mongolia and the case has received "enormous prominence" in the central Asian country.
He initially claimed the girl had offered him money for sex before admitting raping the teenager on January 18 this year.
Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC jailed him for five and a half years, saying: "You committed a fearful offence of rape against this young woman.
"This was a stranger rape in the early hours of the morning and committed against the background of an attempt by you to rob her.
"The indecent attack on this girl was also prolonged and committed only four days after you had appeared before a court for a relatively minor matter of assault."
Gantumur showed no remorse for his victim and told police a "pack of lies", the judge added.

Hi! all!
The Sapporo Snow Festival, one of Japan's largest winter events, attracts a growing number of visitors from Japan and abroad every year. Every winter, about two million people come to Sapporo to see the hundreds of beautiful snow statues and ice sculptures which line Odori Park,the grounds at Satoland, and the main street in Susukino.
The Sapporo Snow Festival first started in 1950 in Odori Park with a meager six ice sculptures crafted by local students during one of the area’s long winters. Since then, the event has grown in leaps and bounds, especially with the addition of the Self Defense Force in Makomani in 1955 and another site in Susukino. Today, over two million people worldwide travel to the festival to view these exceptional pieces of art.
There's a sculpting process:
First, a wooden structure is built. Large blocks of snow are then cut from the ground using shovels, buckets, chisels, axes, and saws made of barbed wire. The blocks are stomped into place around the wooden scaffolding and hosed down with water that freezes into hard-as-rock water mortar. Only then does the painstaking job of sculpting the masterpiece begin.
The combined result of all this carving and sculpting, usually lit up at night with coloured lights, is a spun-crystal dreamscape of fairylights and magic. The main boulevard is spangled with hundreds of statues, some as large as houses (come to think of it some are houses) and over the years the festival has showcased frosted versions of the Statue of Liberty, the Great Wall of China, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Pyramids of Egypt.
