Man accused of raping boy, 13, in his front yard walks free on bail
A man accused of sexually assaulting a teenage boy has been screamed at as he walked free from a Penrith court.
Police allege Moud Nuri met the 13-year-old online and went to his western Sydney house when the boy cut off contact.
The 40-year-old is accused of raping the 13-year-old boy in the front yard of his home.
Nuri was arrested on Sunday at his Kellyville Ridge home and reappeared in court today.
Police said the pair met on a social media app on Friday and exchanged images and personal details.
The boy later deleted the app, cutting off contact with Nuri.
But it’s alleged he went to the teen’s home and pushed him to the ground before sexually assaulting him.
A short time later the boy’s mother intervened and Nuri drove away.
His bail was continued today.
A crowd gathered outside court was angry an accused child sex offender could be freed on bail.
As part of his bail conditions, Nuri had to surrender his passport and report to police three times a week.
He has been ordered not to go within 500 metres of the victim’s home, or make attempts to contact the boy.
