Man denies sexual offences involving teenage girls at Kenilworth hotel

A man has denied allegations of sexual offences against two teenage girls at a Kenilworth hotel, including rape against one of them. Ahmad Hania, 27, appeared at Warwick Crown Court on 24 September, where he pleaded not guilty to six counts of sexual assault. His bail has been extended, and a five-day trial is scheduled to begin on 1 August 2028.

Warwick Crown Court hearing details

Hania, a Syrian national, was assisted by a Syrian interpreter during the hearing. The court appearance concerned allegations relating to incidents reported to have taken place in August 2026.

Nub News reported the hearing on 28 September 2026. Its account identifies the defendant, the court, the not-guilty pleas and the next scheduled stage of the proceedings.

The report says Hania has denied multiple sexual offences involving the two girls. It specifically records not-guilty pleas to six counts of sexual assault and also describes an allegation of rape against one of the girls.

The supplied account does not set out a complete charge-by-charge list. The six sexual assault counts should therefore not be presented as a confirmed total covering every allegation mentioned in the report.

The position reported at this stage is that the allegations are denied and the case is scheduled for trial. The hearing account does not establish that any of the alleged offences occurred.

Allegations involving two teenage girls

The allegations concern two teenage girls and a hotel in Kenilworth. They include kissing and sexual touching without consent, alongside the rape allegation involving one of the girls.

The source places the alleged incidents in August 2026 but does not give a separate date for each allegation. It also does not explain how the six sexual assault counts are divided between the two girls.

The reported allegations can be summarised as:

• Kissing without consent.
• Sexual touching without consent.
• Rape against one of the girls.

These are descriptions of allegations, not findings against Hania. His denial is central to the current status of the case and should be read alongside the account of the charges.

Neither girl's exact age is given in the supplied material. The report describes both as teenagers, and there is no basis in that account to provide more specific ages or further identifying details about them.

Police attendance at Kenilworth hotel

Police located the two girls at the hotel on the evening of 18 August 2026. Hania was arrested after officers found them there, according to the report.

That is the sequence provided in the source: the girls were located at the hotel, followed by the defendant's arrest. The account does not describe what led police to the premises or give a fuller account of the circumstances surrounding the arrest.

The date of the police action is more specific than the timing given for the alleged offences. While the allegations are placed in August, the report does not assign every alleged act to the evening of 18 August.

The hotel is not named in the supplied material. No address or other identifying description of the premises is provided, so the report supports identifying the location only as a hotel in Kenilworth.

Key dates and case details

The following details bring together the dates, locations and court arrangements stated in the report. Where the supplied account does not provide a detail, that is marked rather than inferred.

The September hearing and the August 2028 trial date are separate stages in the reported proceedings. The publication date, 28 September 2026, is also distinct from the date on which Hania appeared in court.

Trial scheduled for August 2028

The trial is scheduled to start on 1 August 2028 and last five days. Those are the arrangements reported following the September court appearance.

The source does not explain why that date was selected or provide any account of the interval between the hearing and the scheduled trial. It would therefore be unsupported to attribute the timing to a particular cause.

Hania's bail has been extended. The supplied report does not specify any conditions attached to that bail, an address where he must stay or any restrictions on his movements or contact with others.

No further hearing date is included in the supplied account. The next dated court event identified in the report is the scheduled trial, rather than a reported finding on any of the allegations.

What this means for Kenilworth

The direct local connection is the reported location of the alleged incidents: a hotel in Kenilworth. The court hearing took place at Warwick Crown Court, and the case remains the subject of denied allegations awaiting trial.

The source provides no information about changes to the hotel's operation, access to the premises or any measures affecting nearby residents or businesses. It does not support reporting a closure, a disruption or a wider effect on accommodation in the town.

For local readers, the practical information available is therefore limited to the case's status and timetable. There is no named venue or reported operational change on which to base advice about visiting or using a particular hotel.

The account also gives no basis for linking the allegations to any other Kenilworth premises. Reporting the location more precisely than the source allows would risk wrongly associating an unrelated business with the case.
