A sentencing hearing for a man who has admitted sexually assaulting a woman more than 10 years ago in Newmarket has been adjourned until January.

Thirty-year-old Feroze Khan, who is in custody, was due to have been sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court on Tuesday (November 29) but the case was adjourned to allow him to be legally represented.

At an earlier hearing he pleaded guilty to a charge of sexual assault dating back to January 2012.

The court heard that the investigation into the Newmarket sexual assault was halted in 2014, but after Khan, of Longford Court, London was convicted of another offence at Harrow Crown Court in 2017, his DNA provided a match.

The court heard that there was CCTV footage from the night in 2012.

Judge David Pugh adjourned the sentencing hearing until January 10.
