Multiple offenders have been sentenced in Cambridgeshire courts for crimes including sexual assault, dangerous driving and false imprisonment.

Cambridgeshire courts have sentenced multiple offenders for serious crimes in October. Bradley Warby, 41, of Peterborough, followed a 16-year-old girl through King's Cross railway station before sexually assaulting her on a train to Peterborough. He sat next to the teenager, made sexual comments and repeatedly assaulted her. A concerned passenger reported the incident to British Transport Police, leading to his identification through CCTV. He pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual assault and was jailed for one year and two months at Cambridge Crown Court on 5 October.

Samiul Islam, 25, of Peterborough, was jailed for two years and six months for dangerous driving. He crashed into a stationary Mercedes on the A1307 in Huntingdon at speed in August 2024 whilst over the legal alcohol limit. The collision paralysed the Mercedes driver and fractured the spine and collarbone of one of Islam's passengers. The impact forced the stationary car nearly 30 metres down the road despite its handbrake being engaged. Islam was banned from driving for five years and ten months.

Zoe Smith and Shane Rowe, both 39, were sentenced on 9 October for keeping a man with mobility problems barricaded in his Cambridge flat for more than 12 hours on 22 February. They blocked the door with a table, repeatedly punched him and prevented him leaving until he escaped to seek help. Both were convicted of false imprisonment and theft. Rowe was also convicted of assault by beating. They took the victim's wallet and phone and were given indefinite restraining orders.
