A man who tried to carry out a sex attack on a woman in Falmouth during the G7 Summit has been jailed.

Truro Crown Court heard how the incidents took place on June 13 this year, on the final day of the G7 Summit being in Cornwall.

The International Media Centre was based in Falmouth and the town saw a huge influx of members of the public travelling from all over the UK, many of whom were there to carry out protests in front of the world's press.

Among those travelling to Falmouth during that week, for reasons unknown, was Esayas Grmay, a 20-year-old from London, having arrived in the country seeking asylum from a warzone.

It was during his time in the town that he grabbed a woman from the street and attempted to commit a sex attack on her before she was able to fight him off.

Grmay had already stood trial at crown court, where he was convicted of false imprisonment and committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence.

For these crimes, Judge Simon Carr sentenced Grmay on Friday to five years detention in a young offender institute, with four years on extended licence.

He was also ordered to pay a £190 victim surcharge.

During the same hearing Grmay was sentenced for a sexual assault previously committed in London.

For this he received 18 months detention, to run concurrently to the other sentence, meaning the overall length of sentence did not change.

Grmay must also sign the sex offenders register indefinitely.
