A 22-year-old man has been sentenced after being convicted of a series of sexual and violent offences against a massage therapist in Wolverton.
A man has been jailed after being convicted of a series of sexual and violent offences against a massage therapist in Milton Keynes.
Asim Akhtar, 22, of no fixed abode, was found guilty following a three-day trial at Aylesbury Crown Court of three counts of sexual assault, one count of attempted rape, intentional strangulation and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He was sentenced at the same court on 7 September to eight years in prison with a further four years on extended licence.
The offences took place after Akhtar attended a massage therapist in Wolverton. During the appointment, he sexually assaulted the woman before becoming physically violent and attempting to rape her.
The victim suffered minor injuries and required hospital treatment.
Akhtar was arrested on the same day as the attack and charged the following day.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Jessica Dolphin said the victim had been subjected to both sexual and physical violence while carrying out her work.
She praised the woman’s “remarkable courage and resilience” throughout the investigation and subsequent court proceedings, adding that the attack had had a profound and life-changing impact on her.
Police have encouraged anyone who has experienced sexual abuse to come forward and report it.
Note: The supplied article says the attack happened on 13 December 2026, but also says Akhtar was charged on 14 December 2025 and convicted in June 2026. The December 2026 date is therefore chronologically impossible, so I have not repeated that date as fact rather than guessing what the correct date should be.
