A dangerous sex offender who sexually assaulted and robbed a woman as she walked home from a night out has been jailed for 10 years.
Aaron Burns, 31, followed his victim as she walked through Lancaster city centre at around 2am on November 14, 2019. When she got to her home the victim felt somebody put a hand over her face and a hand around her waist.
Burns then said: “You’re coming with me or I’ll murder you.” Burns pulled her onto a canal towpath, before asking what money she had and going through her handbag.
