THE brother of a man convicted of serious sexual assault has been found guilty of racially abusing a BBC cameraman outside court.

Father-one-one Mohammed Ali called the black cameraman a “slave” and told him to “get back to his plantation” as he tried to film outside Oxford Crown Court, a district judge heard yesterday.

Unemployed Ali, 33, had been at the sentencing of brother Feizal Ali, jailed with two others on September 10 over attacking a woman in East Oxford, which was filmed on a mobile phone.

Cameraman Marcel Bailey said: “He stood right in front of the camera and wherever I moved, he would move.

“I told him I was just there to do my job and he called me a slave.

“I was extremely shocked, horrified and scared. I have never been spoken to like that before and I was quite taken aback.”

Mr Bailey said his work had suffered afterwards and he needed counselling.

Ali told the court Mr Bailey had been aggressive and asked him to move out of the camera shot. He said: “I felt quite threatened and I think he said something like ‘Muslims are all bad people’.”

Mr Bailey denied the allegations.

Ali, of Howard Street, Oxford, was found guilty of a section five public order charge and a racially aggravated public order offence.

District Judge Tim Pattinson said he was sorry that he could only fine Ali £130. He was also told to pay £100 court costs and £115 compensation.
