DC Olivia Hill said: ‘Despite crystal clear CCTV footage of the attempted kidnapping, Moalem had the audacity to deny it and has shown no remorse for his actions throughout the investigation
‘I know how terrifying this was for the victim and she’s bravely supported the investigation throughout, I hope that now that Moalem is behind bars she can continue to make progress with her recovery.
‘Thankfully we police a CCTV rich environment and the quality of the footage, along with the victim’s testimony, was invaluable in securing Moalem’s conviction.’
British Transport Police said: ‘We will not tolerate any form of violence against women or girls.
‘If you experience or witness anything, we urge you to report it to us by texting 61016.’
