Sumon Miah, from Northwood Hills, was sentenced after pleaded guilty to assault by beating, sexual assault by penetration and false imprisonment at Isleworth Crown Court. He was sentenced to 40 months imprisonment last Tuesday (16 November).
The court heard that on Sunday, 19 September Miah arrived at the victims address intoxicated. He then argued with her and sexually assaulted her.
The victim managed to escape and ran on to the street whereby he followed her continuously grabbing and pulling her away from taxis that she ordered until one driver got out of the car and allowed her to safely make it to the vehicle and get away.
Detective Sergeant Phil Hames, West Area Command Public Protection said “This was a particularly nasty and violent crime for which I am very pleased that we have been able to bring the offender to justice. I would like to praise the victim for their strength in supporting this prosecution I hope this conviction and sentence provides some comfort and contributes towards their recovery and healing.
I would also like to thank the member of public who intervened, recorded some of the offence and called 999. Whilst I would never encourage anyone to put themselves in danger the actions of the witness was crucial in bringing swift justice in this case. The investigation team of DC Stephanie Aldridge and PC Dayna Stephen should be proud of their commitment and professionalism, they are a credit to the Metropolitan Police.”
