Sneinton sex attacker was Afghan asylum seeker

AN ASYLUM seeker from Afghanistan has admitted he was the sex attacker who brought terror to the streets of Sneinton.

A sudden wave of incidents in December, 2006, sparked police warnings for women to be vigilant and repeated appeals for information.

Police issued a CD-fit of the sex attacker and put up posters appealing to local people to help them catch him.

”He was completely out of control and very violent”

Self-defence classes were held in the area and more than 250 attack alarms were handed out by police.

But yesterday, at Nottingham Crown Court, Nooroz Hameed Khan, formerly of Kimberley Street, Sneinton, admitted he was the sex attacker. He pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual assault on the women.

He first struck at 4pm on Thursday, December 21, 2006, when a 29-year-old Sneinton woman was on her way to meet her sister in Trent Lane. Khan struck up a conversation with her and then groped her.

In Meadow Lane 50 minutes late, a 16-year-old girl was seriously sexually assaulted. She managed to push her attacker off and ran away.

And on Christmas Day he targeted another victim, a 24-year-old woman, in Dale Street. He began talking to her, but she kicked him and escaped.

In an exclusive interview with the Post at the time, the Trent Lane victim said: "He was completely out of control and very violent.

"I am scared to go out on my own, even in daylight. Until he's caught I won't rest.

"I hate the thought of him still out there waiting to attack someone else."

After hearing he had pleaded guilty, she said she was relieved. "I can put this behind me," she said.

Khan had lived in Rotherham since he applied for asylum in January, 2008. He said he had fled the Taliban.

He was arrested in July last year and originally accused of five offences, but prosecutors decided to drop a fourth charge of sexual assault and an allegation of assault causing actual bodily harm.  continues here
