In addition to his prison sentence, Ali will also be required to sign the sex offenders register and will be subject to a restraining order.

Detective Constable Warren Robinson, from GMP’s Salford district, said: “Ali subjected a woman to a degrading, humiliating experience and I am glad that he is behind bars where he belongs.

“His disgusting behaviour has no place in society and I would like to thank the victim for her bravery in this investigation.
