A
sexual predator, who pounced on a lone woman in Green Park in the
early hours, has been locked-up.
Gergo
Brummel, 33, of Crescent Road, Plumstead was arrested after police
heard the woman's screams in the central London park.
He
was sentenced at Inner London Crown Court to eighteen months
imprisonment for sexual assault.
He
was also sentenced to 20 weeks' imprisonment for breaching a
restraining order in relation to a separate incident.
These
sentences will run consecutively.
Officers
who were on patrol in Piccadilly on April 20, last year heard a woman
screaming from inside the park.
They
rushed in and found Brummel and the woman struggling.
The
woman immediately said Brummel had grabbed her from behind and
sexually assaulted her.
She
had fought him off before the struggle ensued.
On
searching the area, officers found a condom.
This
was sent for examination and was found to have Brummel's DNA on it.
Detective
Constable Mick Heaney from Westminster police, who led the
investigation, said: "If
it was not for the quick actions of the officers that night, I have
no doubt that Brummel's attack would have escalated.
"I
would like to thank those officers but also the victim for supporting
this investigation.
"This
has resulted in a dangerous man being put behind bars."
On
his release from prison, Brummel will be made to sign the Sex
Offenders Register for ten years.
