A man who sexually assaulted a woman twice at Euston station has been jailed for two years. Obinwa Obichukwu, 45, of Armstrong Close, Hertfordshire, was sentenced at Inner London Crown Court on July 21 after being found guilty of two counts of sexual assault.
The attack occurred on the evening of August 20, 2023, when Obichukwu approached the lone woman as she walked towards the station. He attempted to start a conversation about her music, then put his arm around her shoulder, asked her back to his house, and pursued her down Euston Road.
Obichukwu sexually assaulted the victim at the station entrance and again near the ticket barriers after following her down the escalator to the Tube. The woman managed to push him off and escape. British Transport Police later tracked Obichukwu to his home and arrested him.
In addition to the prison sentence, Obichukwu was given a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will be on the sex offenders register for a decade. Detective Constable Daniel Burke said: 'Obinwa Obichukwu is a sexual predator who targeted a lone woman and attacked her at a busy London station. He claimed his assault was consensual and took his case to trial, but fortunately, the jury saw straight through his lies.'
