A 16-year-old girl sexually assaulted near Liverpool Street station has been left anxious around older men after her attacker, Algerian national Sofiane Belasri, avoided immediate jail with a two-year prison sentence suspended for two years at Southwark Crown Court.
The teenager had been drinking with friends when Belasri joined the group outside the busy London station. Prosecutors said he told her she was 'beautiful' before touching her breasts over her clothing. The court later heard that the assault continues to affect how safe she feels at night, particularly around older men.
