A Somali refugee who had been sentenced to probation after serving six years in a juvenile detention facility for raping two Utah women in 2011 may soon be deported, officials confirmed Thursday.
Mohammed Ali Mohammed, now 20, was supposed to be on strict probation for five years, after a 3rd District judge on Nov. 27 opted to give him a chance at probation instead of a lengthy term in adult prison.
The sentencing came a month before Mohammed’s 21st birthday — the time when he would age out of the juvenile system and could no longer be housed at the Wasatch Youth Center, where he has been since pleading guilty to rape, sexual assault and kidnapping charges in 2012.
