A SECURITY guard who sexually assaulted a teenage girl at Worcester Shrub Hill Station has been jailed.
Aamar Mohammed, of Shireland Road in Sandwell, was found guilty of two counts of Sexual Assault following a week-long trial.
British Transport Police (BTP) investigated after the 35-year-old targeted the 14-year-old while he was on duty.
At Worcester Crown Court, a judge sentenced him to three years and eight months in prison.
He was also given an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and will be on the sex offenders register for life.
The incident happened on November 14, 2021, when Mohammed approached the teenager at the railway station wearing a high-visibilty vest.
He asked where she was travelling to and then walked her to the platform her train was due to arrive on.
He then headed into an office at the station and, a short while later, asked her into that office as a warm place to go while she waited for her train. As she approached, he turned the room’s lights off.
Inside the office Mohammed forced himself upon the teenager and sexually assaulted her.
She managed to get away from him and returned to the platform to board her train. He then emerged from the office and waved at her as the service left the station.
The victim, who suffered bruising from the attack, reported Mohammed’s actions to her family who called the police.
He was arrested the same evening and an extensive investigation, led by BTP detectives, resulted in multiple charges being brought against him.
Specialist support was provided to the victim throughout the investigation and as the case progressed through courts.
Mohammed failed to appear for a subsequent court hearing and had to be rearrested at his home address in March 2023.
BTP Det Con Tim Friend said: “Aamar Mohammed used his trusted position as a station security guard to groom a teenage girl and subject her to a deplorable sexual assault.
“His attack was so forceful that it left the victim with physical injuries, and will no doubt have a lasting impact on her psychologically.
“It is down to her bravery in reporting him to police, and determination to stick with the process as it progressed through the courts, that we have been able to bring a truly vile man to justice.
“We will stop at nothing to ensure sexual predators like Mohammed are removed from our communities and put behind bars where they belong.”
