CHELMSFORD, United Kingdom: An Ethiopian asylum seeker was jailed for a year on Tuesday for sexually assaulting a teenage girl and a woman, in a case that ignited weeks of UK protests.
District Judge Christopher Williams told Hadush Kebatu that “it´s evident to me that your shame and remorse isn´t because of the offences you´ve committed but because of the impact they´ve had,” as he passed sentence.
Williams had found Kebatu guilty of five offences, including two of sexual assault, following a three-day trial that ended on September 4. Kebatu reportedly gave his age as 38 but court records suggest he is 41, according to police.
