Aaron Burns told the victim 'You’re coming with me or I'll murder you' as he put his hand over her face and around her waist
A dangerous predator who issued a chilling threat to a woman he followed home before pulling her onto a canal towpath and sexually assaulting has been jailed for 10 years.
The defendant then ran off and the victim sought help. Burns, of no fixed address, was arrested and linked to the offence using CCTV footage. DI Dylan Hrynkow, of Lancaster CID, said: “This was an appalling offence committed against a young woman as she walked home from a night out with friends. This crime has understandably had a profound impact on her – made all the worse by the fact Burns forced her to relive the ordeal by running a trial.
Chief Supt Karen Edwards, our Divisional Commander for the West of the county, said: “The persistence and determination of the diligent investigation team has led to a dangerous offender being taken off the streets of Lancaster.
