Police arrest fleeing child rapist on plane minutes before takeoff in dramatic footage

Diiriye Ali-Jamac, 34, became the focus on an intense law enforcement investigation earlier this year after investigators determined he had sex with a 14-year-old girl on April 28. He was apprehended on a plane set to depart from London’s Heathrow Airport four days later.

The video clip, obtained by officers’ body-worn cameras, was released yesterday by Surrey Police, showing the man’s alarmed expression in response to his capture, which happened 30 minutes before takeoff. “Wanted, for what?” he can be heard asking the arresting officer.

Despite his shocked reaction, Ali-Jamac pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual activity with a child. On August 19, he was jailed for six years during a hearing at Kingston Crown Court.
