A man who broke into a home and sexually assaulted a sleeping woman at knifepoint has been sentenced to more than 14 years behind bars.
Aryan Rashidi, 20, of no fixed address, was jailed at Leeds Crown Court yesterday (26 February) after pleading guilty to committing a serious sexual offence in Wakefield in October 2016, as well as trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence.
The incident happened at about 2.08am on 5 October 2016, at a house near Wakefield city centre.
This followed an earlier offence on 14 September in Bradford in which Rashidi broke into a property and awoke a sleeping woman present by tugging at her clothing, before fleeing when her husband woke alongside her.
Rashidi was sentenced to 14 years and seven months in total.
