Sex offender to be deported after molesting teen on train

A 21-year-old man will be deported back to Albania and placed on the sex offenders register for seven years after pleading guilty to a sexual assault.

Besnik Ferizolli, an Albanian national, was arrested by British Transport Police after he sexually assaulted a woman at Northwood London Underground station on Wednesday, October 7.

 Ferizolli approached the 19-year-old woman asking her to sit down near him before proceeding to kiss her and put his arm around her to board the train.

He sat next to her and kissed her again on her cheek, demanding that the woman give him her number.
Throughout the journey Ferizolli continued to harass the woman and intimidated her until he left the train at Harrow-on-the-Hill London Underground station.

Investigating officer DC Matt Nolan said: “Ferizolli made this woman feel intimated, scared and extremely uncomfortable.

“She was simply going about her daily commute home. Nobody should be made to feel this way and everyone has the right to travel without fear on the transport network.

“I am pleased that the woman had the courage to come forward and report this man and the crime that he committed so that he could be caught and convicted.
