Maxim Rowan-Moy, 32, deliberately sat next to the teenager and pursued her along the train carriage as he continued molesting her, even pulling her violently towards him.
Detective Constable Terry Botten, of British Transport Police said: "This was a truly sickening attack against a lone teenage girl by a disgusting predator who sought to violate her for his own sexual gain.
"She has shown immense bravery in supporting this investigation and I’m pleased to see this vile and evidently very dangerous offender behind bars as a result.
"I want to assure women and girls that we are absolutely dedicated to tackling sexual offenders on the railway network and bringing them to justice.”
Rowan-Moy, of Eglinton Hill, Plumstead received two-and-a-half years imprisonment.
He pleaded guilty at Inner London Crown Court to four counts of sexual assault; one count of assault, plus a charge of threatening behaviour.
Rowan-Moy must also sign the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years and comply with a 5-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
At 7.45pm on Saturday March 26, the victim was waiting for a train at Dover Priory station when she was approached by Rowan-Moy.
He asked where she was travelling to before they boarded a train together and sat next to one another.
On the train, Rowan-Moy offered her a bottle of vodka to drink. He then moved closer to her and sexually assaulted her.
The girl got up and attempted to move away from him as he followed her down the carriage and sat next to her again.
He then continued to sexually assault her, violently attempting to pull her closer to him and persistently touching her inappropriately.
A while later, a group of passengers boarded the train and Rowan-Moy got up from his seat to look for his belongings.
A train guard entered the carriage and stayed with the girl to Rochester station, where staff alerted police.
Officers quickly attended Rochester station and arrested Rowan-Moy, where he pretended to police that he knew the victim.
