A TEENAGE boy has allegedly been raped in his front yard by a 40-year-old man who pushed him to the ground before sexually assaulting him in Sydney’s northwest.

Moud Ul Hasan Nuri, from Kellyville Ridge, allegedly approached the 13-year-old boy outside the child’s family home in Doonside, about 6.45pm, last Friday.

Police documents viewed by news.com.au allege Mr Nuri then pushed the boy to the ground and “had sexual intercourse without consent...knowing that (the boy) had not consented”, just hours after the pair first made contact online. The alleged attack was stopped when the teenage boy’s mother rushed to his aid, prompting the man to run to his car and drive away.

According to police, Mr Nuri and the boy had earlier shared photos and personal details over a social media application, before arranging to meet in person. But when the boy deleted the app before the meeting could go ahead, Mr Nuri allegedly went to his home that same day, and raped him.

The boy was taken to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead for examination after police were called to the scene.

Detectives from the Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad and Blacktown Police Area Command detectives executed a search warrant at Mr Nuri’s home on Sunday, when he was arrested, and taken to Riverstone Police Station.

Mr Nuri was charged with sexual intercourse without consent. He appeared at Parramatta Bail Court on Monday where he was granted strict conditional bail. That was extended this morning after Mr Nuri briefly appeared in Penrith Court. He sat silently, wearing dark jeans, a beige jacket and glasses, before leaving the court without saying a word. The matter was adjourned until December. As part of his bail conditions, Mr Nuri was forced to surrender his passport; advise of details of any mobile phone in his possession; regularly report to police and not contact or go within 500m of the alleged victim’s Doonside address.

The case has alarmed police who are warning parents about online safety, especially during the NSW school holidays when children tend to have more access to the internet.

They’re recommending parents monitor the time children spend online and that they keep devices in a room accessible by family, rather than a personal bedroom.

Parents should be able to access and randomly check their child’s email and social media accounts and can check the family phone bill for unusual outgoing calls, police say.

“Spend time talking to your child about the dangers associated with online conversations, particularly when communicating with someone that they have only ever met online,” NSW Police said in a statement.
