BTP linked him to unsolved attacks after he was jailed for another crime, and he received four more years on licence after release.
- Salman Yousaf, 46, was sentenced at Inner London Crown Court after admitting eight counts of sexual assault and one of outraging public decency, receiving a custodial sentence plus four years on licence.
- Yousaf's identity only emerged in 2024 when the Metropolitan Police alerted British Transport Police while he was already imprisoned for an unrelated crime, prompting investigators to review unsolved Night Tube cases.
- His first recorded assault occurred around 5am on March 11, 2017, near Stratford station on the Central Line; investigators later discovered he targeted sleeping women across Central and Jubilee lines between 2017 and 2021.
- Yousaf was placed on the sexual offenders register for life and made subject to a sexual harm prevention order, with his sentence extending imprisonment beyond 2030 and authorities acknowledging victims' bravery in reporting.
