A violent sex offender has had his prison sentence extended after he assaulted a vulnerable person and verbally abused a bus driver.

Zeshan Akhtar, aged 36, has had three months added to his seven-year prison sentence, which he was already serving for sexually assaulting a teenager.

The prisoner was produced at Wycombe Magistrates' Court on June 30 where he admitted to assaulting a vulnerable woman in Milton Keynes on March 10 last year.

Akhtar, of Gaddesden Crescent in Milton Keynes, also admitted to using abusive language and behaviour towards a bus driver on December 2, 2020. This older offence also took place in Milton Keynes,

The offender had initially denied the two charges but changed his plea at the hearing in June.

Sentencing him, the magistrates added three months to the lengthy sentence he is already serving.

Akhtar was sent down for seven years on May 5 after he was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault and one count of assault by penetration at Luton Crown Court.

The court heard how on August 16, 2021, in Bedford town centre, Akhtar approached a distressed teenage girl and attempted to kiss her.

When she tried to run away, Akhtar grabbed her and sexually assaulted her. Afterwards, he walked her home while holding her hand, and sexually assaulted her again just 160 yards from where she lived.

Akhtar had denied the charges against him but was found guilty by a jury following a trial at Luton Crown Court.

The investigating officer in the case, DC Katie Tavener, said: "No woman or girl should ever be made to feel scared and helpless.

"Akhtar took advantage of a situation to sexually assault a vulnerable young girl. When she said no, he ignored her, and no will always mean no.

"The victim showed true bravery by coming forward and reporting what had happened."
