A man who raped a 15-year-old girl after following her on a street in Stirlingshire has been jailed for nine years.
Sadeq Nikzad, 29, targeted the girl in Falkirk town centre in October 2023.
Nikzad, an asylum seeker from Afghanistan, repeatedly requested her telephone number, uttered sexual remarks then led her into a courtyard where he raped her.
At the High Court in Livingston, Judge Morris told him it was an "extremely serious sexual offence" and said he would be deported after his sentence.
The court heard that Nikzad had entered the UK illegally two years before the attack.
Defence counsel Janice Green told the court there were language difficulties and a "cultural barrier" between Nikzad's home country, where child marriage was common.
She said: "I'm not suggesting that means that he reasonably believed (the complainer) was consenting, but that there's a reason why he could have misunderstood."
