Migrant who sexually assaulted eight women in ten days within months of arriving in UK faces years behind bars
Mehdi Midani convicted of six counts of sexual assault and one of common assault after sex attack spree in which he followed women home from work and groped them
AN ALGERIAN migrant who targeted eight women in sex attacks over ten days in London faces years in jail today.
Mehdi Midani, 28, groped and slapped the buttocks of four women returning from work in just four hours while roaming across Clapham and Brixton Hill in South London.
Later in his sickening spree he climbed on top of a victim, grabbing her and trying to kiss her.
He was convicted of six counts of sexual assault and one of common assault, as well as pleading guilty to another sexual assault charge at Inner London Crown Court.
The Algerian national, who is believed to have entered the UK via Ireland a few months before the attacks, will be sentenced on May 26.
The court heard how he followed a woman returning from work at 9pm on October 22, touching her bottom as she made her way up Trent Road in Brixton Hill.
