Pervert sexually assaulted woman on train near Kettering

A pervert will be sentenced next month after he admitted sexually assaulting a woman on a train.

Saad Arshad, 38, pleaded guilty to sexual assault by touching at Northampton Magistrates' Court after the incident on August 20 last year.

He was on a train that was travelling between Leicester and Kettering when he sexually assaulted his victim.

Arshad, of South Crescent in East Dene, Rotherham, was granted unconditional bail by magistrates so a pre-sentence report could be prepared.

He will be sentenced in Northampton on September 17.
