A soldier who sexually assaulted a student was caught after his pals recognised him in grainy CCTV images released to the M.E.N.
Jack Kelly, 23, was on leave from the army, and due to be posted to Ukraine, when he targeted and followed a lone 19-year-old woman walking home through the university district at 5am.
She realised she was being followed in the minutes before he pounced on her from behind, clasping his hands around her mouth.
