A Nigerian, who allegedly carried out two sex attacks on women he met in a Cambridge nightclub has been jailed.
According to Cambridge First on Monday, Anthony Iyare, 29,
attacked a woman in the toilets of the Fez Club in May, a year after
sexually assaulting a woman he had met at the same club.
Iyare, who used his widowed mother’s savings to study in Cambridge,
England will be deported after he was convicted of sexually assaulting
two young women.
In the first incident in the early hours of May 20 2010, Iyare, of
Walpole Road, Cambridge, and some of his friends went back to an address
in Cambourne with the 21-year-old woman and her friend after pestering
them in the club.
He sexually assaulted her after she fell asleep.
A year later, in the early hours of May 28, Iyare followed an
18-year-old woman into a toilet cubicle in the club before sexually
assaulting her.
She managed to get past him and told a friend.
Security staff alerted police and Iyare was arrested.
He denied sexual assault and attempted rape.
He was, however, convicted of the first attack and found guilty of an
alternative charge of sexual assault for the second after the jury were
hung on the attempted rape charge following a trial at Cambridge Crown
Court.
He was jailed for a total of four years which included three months
for a separate affray charge. The judge ordered that he be deported to
Nigeria after serving half the sentence.
The investigation was carried out by Detective Constables Emma Beart and Paul Evans.
DC Evans said, “Iyare pursued both victims despite them asking him to leave them alone.
“This has been a long investigation and we are pleased he has now
been brought to justice and a dangerous man is now behind bars.
“I would like to thank both the victims for their courage and
determination throughout the investigation and trial, and also their
friends and family who have shown great support throughout their
ordeal.”
