A young sex predator who raped a fellow pupil in a school classroom has been locked up for five years.Zineelabibine Abbood violently attacked the girl during a lunch break at a Glasgow secondary on November 29, 2019.Despite her repeated protests, Abbood only stopped when a teacher came into the music room.She found the traumatised victim "visibly upset" and in tears.Abbood - now 21 - returned to the High Court in Glasgow today having been convicted of the rape in May.Judge Thomas Welsh KC told him: "You continue to deny your guilt and have shown no remorse."You have shown no insight or empathy in regard to the victim's feelings."The damage that you have done is incalculable."Jurors heard how the pair - both in their mid-teens at the time - had initially been playing instruments in the music classroom.In his evidence, Abbood told his lawyer Paul Mullen that it was the girl who then made moves towards him before there was sexual contact.Mr Mullen put to him: "Did you want to happen what happened that day?"Abbood: "Yes, with her consent."Abbood claimed they then heard a teacher coming into the room and they stopped.He told jurors: "I remember (the girl) saying she had had really bad news and that I was comforting her."I was saying (to the teacher) I was sorry and did not mean to be rude by being in the room."Mr Mullen asked him did he know why the victim said what occurred was not consensual.Abbood: "Maybe because the teacher found out and her friends were teasing her.

She must have felt embarrassed."But, prosecutors stated it was there Abbood, formerly of Glasgow's Riddrie, had instead raped the teenager which included him biting, pulling and groping her to her injury.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by
