Migrant in taxpayer-funded hotel who sexually assaulted woman, 19, with special needs in broad daylight jailed
The fiend is alleged to have laughed at his victim as she ran away from him HORROR ATTACK Migrant in taxpayer-funded hotel who sexually assaulted woman, 19, with special needs in broad daylight jailed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A CHANNEL migrant has been handed a prison sentence after he sexually assaulted an "extremely vulnerable" young girl with learning difficulties. Aron Hadsh, 27, from Eritrea was living in a taxpayer-funded hotel near Heathrow when he attacked the 19-year-old in June last year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Hadsh attacked his 'extremely vulnerable' victim in a park Credit: Met Police She had been sent by her mother to pick up fruit from a foodbank when she was subjected to the horror attack by Hadsh. A court heard on Friday that Hadsh pursued the vulnerable young girl to a park in Fulham, West London. Hadsh reportedly pinned the vulnerable young girl to his lap, grabbed her breasts and touched her crotch for several minutes. She eventually managed to escape the man and get away from the horror ordeal, she said Hadsh laughed as she ran away from. Hadsh illegally entered the UK around three years ago after crossing the Channel. He was caught five weeks after launching his sickening attack on the young girl when she spotted him while out shopping. Members of the public detained the vile fiend until the police arrived to arrest him. The court heard how the victim has a number of learning difficulties, presents as "very childlike" and has an "extreme vulnerability." Hadsh was sentenced to 14 months in prison for his disgusting attack and slapped with a five-year restraining order. He was convicted of one count of sexual assault and acquitted of one other count of kidnapping in May. As he has already spent nearly a year in custody Hadsh will avoid spening any further time in prison. This is despite a judge saying he poses a "high risk of serious harm to the public." In a statement read out in court, the victim said: "On the day it happened it made me feel very nervous and scared. I felt that my body shut down. "All my life it has been hard to make friends, and this has put me back in my own bubble. "I was scared to see him again, in case he would kill me, because he was laughing after he ran off and sexually assaulted me." Hadsh showed no remorse and continued to plead his innocence from the dock during sentencing. Judge Alastair Rolf Hammerton told him: "I understand your conditions in prison are more challenging because English is not your first language." He went on to explain that Hadsh was intoxicated at the time of the offence and said the fiend posed "a high risk of sexual reoffending." He added "Your victim was an extremely vulnerable person. She felt scared and vulnerable." Hadsh appeared at his sentencing without representation after he sacked his counsel during the trial.
