9:27Now PlayingA man has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman and a 14-year-old girl in Epping, England.
The arrest of Hadush Kebatu in July, an asylum seeker who was staying at the Bell Hotel in Epping, led to a wave of anti-immigration protests and counter-demonstrations.
Kebatu was on trial for two counts of sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, inciting a child into sexual activity and harassment without violence.
He pleaded not guilty to all the offences and claimed the allegations against him were "simply fabrication”. The judge, delivering his verdict, said the evidence against Kebatu was "clear and consistent”.
