A “dangerous predator” who sexually assaulted women on the London Underground network has been jailed for over six months.
Ahmad Ahmedzai, 30, targeted three women who were alone on busy trains in the capital.
The 30-year-old was on a train from Bushey to London Euston when he sexually assaulted the 28-year-old woman multiple times on September 10.
As the train was very busy the victim was unable to move away from Ahmedzai.
Ahmedzai was then on a Jubilee line train from Bermondsey when again he sexually assaulted another 28-year-old woman on a busy train service on November 2.
Later that month, Ahmedzai was on board a very busy train from Watford Junction to London Euston when he sexually assaulted a 22-year-old woman on November 25.
All three victims reported the assaults to the British Transport Police and officers were able to obtain CCTV footage. Ahmedzai was later identified through facial recognition.
Ahmedzai pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual assault at Inner London Crown Court on Friday May 30 and will be jailed for 27 weeks.
The Hemel Hempstead resident was also handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for seven years, which means he can only travel on the Transport for London (TfL) network when using an Oyster card, a contactless debit or credit card linked to an account in his name.
If he is travelling outside the TfL network then Ahmedzai must book a ticket in advance and notify the police in advance of travel.
He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years and ordered to pay costs of £687.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Jack Leach said: “Ahmedzai is a dangerous predator who targeted women on busy services in order to hide his sick antics, but due to the brave actions of those he targeted, by reporting the crimes to us we were able to catch him.
“There is zero-tolerance for sexual offences on the rail network and we will do everything in our power to bring offenders to justice.
“If you are the victim of a crime on the rail network, you can report by texting 61016 discreetly or calling 0800 405040. Always call 999 in an emergency."
