A MAN has been convicted of sexual assault and intentional strangulation following an incident in Reading.

Adam Gerezgher, 28 and of no fixed abode, was found guilty by unanimous verdict of one count of sexual assault, one count of intentional strangulation, and one count of committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence.

He is now due to appear at Reading Crown Court for sentencing on Wednesday, May 10.

At around 1am on Saturday, October 8, last year, a woman in her late teens was walking along London Road when she was grabbed from behind by Gerezgher.

He put his arm around the victim’s neck and touched her chest inappropriately over her clothing.

The victim shouted for help from members of the public nearby and was able to run away from Gerezgher, sustaining minor injuries to her neck and face.
