  • Yousaf received a custodial sentence, an additional four years on licence, and was placed on the sexual offenders register for life.
  • His identification came after a tip-off from the Metropolitan Police in 2024, leading British Transport Police to link him to previously unsolved cold cases.
  • Yousaf was already serving a prison sentence for a separate sexual assault where he targeted another woman who had fallen asleep on the Tube.
