Hull man jailed for city centre sex attack

Shko Khdri was described by Humberside Police as a "sexual predator"

A man who sexually assaulted a woman after she left a Hull nightclub has been jailed for seven-and-a-half years.

Shko Khdri, 28, of Walliker Street, Hull, attacked the woman in Carr Lane during the early hours of 19 September 2023.

The attack was captured on CCTV and Khdri was later arrested at his workplace, Humberside Police said.

On Tuesday, he was sentenced at Grimsby Crown Court after earlier pleading guilty to one count of sexual assault.

Officers said the woman fled to Paragon Street where she sought safety with a member of the public.

An image of Khdri, taken from the CCTV, was circulated and he was arrested three days after the attack.

After the hearing, Det Sgt Bethany Sergeant said: "Khdri is a sexual predator and I'm pleased he is now being punished for his unforgiveable actions.

"He subjected a woman to what I can only describe as a violent attack leaving her in fear of her own safety.

"I would like to commend the woman for her bravery throughout the entirety of the investigation and court proceedings. I hope today's outcome provides her with some comfort in knowing that Khrdi is unable to harm anybody else."
