Detective Inspector Anna Rice of the City of London Police’s public protection unit said: “This was a horrific crime where an individual has taken advantage of a vulnerable woman.

“The City of London Police is committed to bringing predatory individuals like this to justice and we hope today’s verdict brings some comfort to the victim.

“I would like to praise the actions of nearby security staff whose quick thinking and intervention resulted in a rapid police response.

“We’re fortunate in the City that, statistically, crimes like this are rare, but when it does happen it can be devastating for the victim.

“Full support is available from the City of London Police for those who have experienced crimes of this nature.”

 

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
