The Oxford University student who wrote a powerful open letter to her sex attacker has told a court that she can't close her eyes 'without hearing his footsteps behind her' as he was jailed for two years today. Last month Ione Wells, 20, prompted an outpouring of public support when she wrote a defiant missive to her assailant, telling him he 'would not win' after the brutal attack in Chalk Farm, north London. The 17-year-old, (black Somali thug) who cannot be named for legal reasons, grabbed Miss Wells from behind as she walked home after a night out. He pushed her to the ground and smashed her head against the pavement, before grabbing at her chest with such force that it tore her bra in half. The youth court heard that the attacker, who lives with his large Somali family in a council flat in a tower block in Camden, London, was only stopped when Miss Wells's screams were heard by neighbours who confronted him. He was today given a two-year detention order for sexual assault at Highbury Magistrates' Court. - (Black-on-white) - (UK) - Ione Wells: powerful letter to her attacker has sparked a campaign against shame

Mustafa Abdullahi, 31, was jailed for ten years after he threatened to kill his victim and repeatedly assaulted her. ory MP Dominic Raab said: ‘This vicious man should be on the first plane back to Somalia. It makes a mockery of British justice and human rights to see such a dangerous thug dance rings around the UK system.’
