Drunken sexual assault on a woman.

Man Jailed for 20 Months for Drunken Sexual Assault

A man has been jailed for 20 months for a drunken sexual assault on a woman. Sergejs Litvins, 27, of Thackeray Road, Idle, Bradford, pleaded guilty to sexual assault at Bradford Crown Court.

The court heard that Litvins had touched the woman indecently and that he claimed to have "misread the situation" after consuming alcohol. His victim suffered flashbacks after the attack and lost confidence.

In his basis of plea, Litvins expressed remorse, stating that he should have realized how the woman felt and was truly sorry for his actions.

Barrister Abdul Shakoor, representing Litvins, said, "He is bitterly remorseful for his conduct. He can't understand why he behaved in the way that he did. It's a complete aberration in his life."

Litvins broke down in tears as Recorder Tahir Khan KC sentenced him to immediate custody, highlighting the seriousness of the offense. While acknowledging Litvins' remorse and out-of-character behavior, the judge emphasized the significant impact of the attack on the victim, stating, "Given the serious impact of your offending on the complainant, I can only impose a sentence of immediate custody."

Litvins will have to register as a sex offender with the police for the next ten years.
