Zakaria Mohammed

On 24 March 2026, Zakaria Mohammed, 32, boarded a train in Reading, Berkshire, and sat opposite a 21-year-old man. After engaging in brief conversation, Mohammed, who had been drinking, sexually assaulted the victim.

The victim reported the incident, and Mohammed was arrested as he approached the station barriers. He was found to be in breach of a previous Sexual Harm Prevention Order. At Reading Crown Court on 19 May 2026, Mohammed pleaded guilty to Actual Bodily Harm, Sexual Assault, False Imprisonment, and breaching the conditions of a previous Sexual Harm Prevention Order. He was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison, placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years, made subject to a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, and ordered to pay a £187 victim surcharge.
