A Bradford man has been jailed for 12 and a half years, having fled the country ahead of his conviction for sexual offences.
41 year old Jibrhan Khan, of Manville Terrace, was found guilty of sexual assault in his absence in February 2023.
He admitted to a further seven non-recent offences upon returning to the UK in September last year.
Aside from the custodial sentence, Khan will serve three years on extended licence. He was also handed a sexual harm prevention order and indefinite restraining order.
Detective Inspector Helen Chapman, of West Yorkshire Police, said:
“We welcome the lengthy sentence handed down to Khan, he prolonged his victims from seeing justice.
“The victims have shown incredible bravery in coming forward and reporting these offences to us.
“We always encourage all victims of sexual assault to come forwards, no matter how long ago offending took place.
“All reports are sensitively investigated by specialist officers.”
