Dublin Man Found Guilty Of Nightclub Date Rape Charges

DUBLIN, CA — A jury found a 38-year-old man guilty of removing a "severely" intoxicated 21-year-old woman from a nightclub and forcibly raping her at his home in Dublin, authorities said this week.

The incident was reported in 2016, when the victim went to a nightclub in San Francisco with her friends. There, she bumped into Ahmad Azizi, who reportedly bought her shots, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office wrote in a statement Tuesday.

It is the second date-rape style report that has been linked to Azizi, officials said.

The woman became extremely intoxicated "to the point of no longer being able to recall certain moments of the evening" as the pair spent time together, according to the DA's office.

Azizi then removed her from the club away from her friends without notice. He then placed her into a private car driven by a man he had contracted with before, authorities said.

As they were getting to Azizi's home in Dublin, the woman was so intoxicated, she was unable to stand on her own, vomited and needed to be carried at a certain point. At Azizi's home, he forcibly raped her.

She was then taken to a restaurant in Antioch and dropped off to her friends. The woman immediatly reported the incident.

During the trial, another victim came forward and said she was raped by Azizi in 2003, when she was given a drink by him in a Modesto nightclub and became "unsually" intoxicated from it.

Azizi then led the woman to a nearby hotel, where she vomited and was in and out of consciousness. While she was blacked out, she was sexually assualted and the next the she remembered was being loaded into an ambulance, authorities said.

Azizi is expected to be sentenced on Oct. 14.
