SPOKANE, Wash. — A Spokane man was sentenced Tuesday to 153 months to life in prison for raping his wife at knifepoint, according to the Spokane County Prosecutor’s Office.
Tarek M. Mohamaed, 38, was convicted Oct. 2 of first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping, second-degree assault, unlawful imprisonment, witness tampering and violating a no-contact order.
According to court documents, Mohamaed attacked his wife at their North Spokane home in June 2025 after she refused his sexual advances. Prosecutors said he threatened her with a knife, beat and strangled her before raping her.
The victim’s daughter heard the attack and called 911.
During sentencing, the victim told the court she had endured years of abuse.
Judge Breean Beggs imposed a minimum sentence of 153 months, including a deadly weapon enhancement. Mohamaed was also ordered to register as a sex offender for life and have no contact with the victim or her daughter.
