A sex fiend who molested a 17-year-old girl and a woman on a train was cornered by police at the next station.

Footage showed Daniel Odubanjo, 27, being handcuffed by officers aboard the train.

The brazen sex offender had trapped a woman in a toilet and sexually assaulted her.

After that victim raised the alarm, he then went on to sexually assault a 17-year-old girl – just minutes later, on the same service.

Officers raced to intercept the train at Hatfield Peverel station, near Chelmsford, Essex, where they confronted Obdubanjo and arrested him.

A court heard how Odubanjo began by repeatedly banging on a toilet door while it was engaged, as reported by Need To Know.

The woman inside quickly washed her hands and unlocked the door, expecting to find another passenger needing to use the facilities.

But instead she came face to face with Odubanjo who pushed her back inside the cubicle and locked the door, forcefully grabbing her wrists and sexually assaulting her.

In the struggle that ensued, the woman, who was 21 at the time, managed to open the door and attempt to get the attention of a fellow passenger.

But he grabbed her and pulled her back into the toilet where he continued the sexual assault as she screamed for help.

It was only when she lied about her age, claiming to be 14, that Odubanjo let her go.

In an extremely distressed state, she approached a member of staff and left the train at Chelmsford, where she reported what had happened to British Transport Police.

Just moments later, Odubanjo approached a 17-year-old girl boarding the service and sat opposite her, asking her a barrage of inappropriate questions, before exposing himself.

When he left to go to the toilet, the teenager moved seats to sit closer to other passengers, telling them what had happened, but Odubanjo returned and sat next to her and sexually assaulted her.

A passenger sat nearby, grabbed Odubanjo and dragged him away from the girl.

The train was met by BTP officers at Hatfield Peverel station, just outside Chelmsford, and Odubanjo was arrested at the scene.

The incident happened in November 2024.

Odubanjo, 27, of King Avenue in Clapham, south London, has now been sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court for one count of false imprisonment and two counts of sexual assault after being found guilty following an earlier trial.

Following the sentencing, British Transport Police’s DS Hayley Whyte said: “Odubanjo preyed on a young woman and a teenage girl in terrifying attacks just minutes apart.

“Both were left distressed and traumatised by the vile assaults he subjected them to.

“Despite this, their courage and determination to see him brought to justice have resulted in a suitably lengthy prison sentence.

“I commend their bravery, and that of the bystanders who intervened in the second attack.”
