Chilling CCTV footage captures the moment a man is about to sexually assault a woman in the toilet of a Bristol nightclub.

Former Bristol City goalkeeper Alhaji Sesay checks the coast is clear before darting into the ladies and targeting a woman in a cubicle.

Bristol Crown Court heard she was very significantly affected by the assault.

In an impact statement she said: "I am left in a constant state of hyper-vigilance.

"I see the worst of people when I used to see the best."

After being arrested and released under police investigation, Sesay targeted a second woman in the female toilet of a night club in London.

The 22-year-old, of Barnfield Gardens in London, denied wrongdoing.

But after a three-week trial a jury convicted him of attempted rape of the woman in Bristol, and the attempted rape and rape of the woman in London.

Judge Michael Cullum jailed him for ten years.

He told Sesay: "In some ways you are a brazen sexual predator.

"To that extent you are dangerous.

"There's a risk, if you are released today, of you acting in a similar way.

"But you are not going to be released today.

"You are not going to be released for many years."
