A man has been jailed for eight years after a violent sexual attack on a woman in Bucks.

Asim Akhtar, 22, of no fixed abode, was convicted at Aylesbury Crown Court after a three-day trial of three counts of sexual assault, one count of attempted rape, one count of intentional strangulation, and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

He was sentenced on September 7.

The offences took place on December 13, 2025, in Wolverton, when Akhtar visited a massage therapist for a back massage and sexually assaulted her.

He then became physically aggressive and attempted to rape her.

The victim suffered minor injuries and required hospital treatment.

Akhtar was arrested later the same day and charged on December 14, 2025.

He was sentenced to eight years in prison with a further four years on extended licence.

Detective Constable Jessica Dolphin of Thames Valley Police said: "This was a horrific incident in which the victim was subjected to both sexual and physical violence while carrying out the job she loved.

"Understandably, the defendant's actions have had a profound and life-changing impact on her.

"I would like to commend the victim for her remarkable courage and resilience throughout this investigation and court process.

"Without her bravery in coming forward and supporting the case, this outcome would not have been possible."
