Man Who Sexually Assaulted Woman on Central Line Jailed for 16 Months Under 10-Year Order

A photo taken by the victim enabled police to identify the attacker.

Overview

  • Snaresbrook Crown Court sentenced 22-year-old Rohan Uddin after he sexually assaulted a woman and masturbated on a London Underground train.
  • The assault occurred on April 29 on an eastbound Central line service near Marble Arch just after 9pm as the victim traveled alone.
  • Uddin was arrested by Metropolitan Police in June on an unrelated matter, when officers discovered he was wanted, and he then assaulted two constables.
  • He pleaded guilty to sexual assault, outraging public decency, and two counts of assaulting an emergency worker, and was ordered to pay a £187 surcharge.
  • A 10-year sexual harm prevention order restricts his conduct on public transport, and British Transport Police urged victims or witnesses to text 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40.
