A man has been jailed for 10 years after admitting raping two teenage girls as they slept in Flintshire.

Stefan Dobandi, 20, of no fixed abode, was sentenced at Mold Crown Court on Tuesday.

At a hearing in February, he admitted three counts of rape and two counts of taking an indecent photograph or pseudo-photograph of a child.

He was jailed for 10 years and will serve a two-year extended licence period on release.

Dobandi was also given 10-year restraining orders to protect the victims, an indefinite sexual harm prevention order, and is subject to notification requirements for life.

The offences took place between May and June last year.

In the early hours of 1 June, Dobandi entered an address where one of the victims was sleeping, got into her bed and raped her.

She woke to find herself partly undressed, with Dobandi beside her.

The previous month, a second teenage girl woke to find Dobandi raping her.

He later sent voice messages to one of the victims admitting what he had done.

Detective Constable Guto Hughes, the investigating officer, said: “Dobandi has proved himself to be a predator who is a danger to women.

“There is no doubt these horrific offences will likely impact his victims forever.

“I commend their courage for speaking out and reporting his crimes, which has led to his conviction today, and prevented him from committing further sexual offences.

“Tackling violence against women and girls remains a foremost priority for North Wales Police.

“We are committed to identifying perpetrators, pursuing justice, and ensuring that victims receive the protection and support they need.

“We will continue to work tirelessly to hold offenders to account and to keep our communities safe.”
