A UK-based Nigerian, Esosa Eguakin, has been sentenced to two years in prison for sexually assaulting two women on board trains from Hampshire to London.

Mr Eguakin, 31, was sentenced at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday, following a British Transport Police (BTP) investigation.

Mr Eguakin “pleaded guilty to two counts of Sexual Assault. He also received a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) which prohibits him from doing a number of things, including sitting or standing next to or opposite any lone women,” BTP said in a statement on Tuesday.

During Mr Eguakin’s trial, the court heard how, on 21 August last year, he intentionally sat behind a woman in her 30s and sexually assaulted her. Again, on October 6, 2025, Mr Eguakin sexually assaulted another woman.

A subsequent investigation into both offences, led by BTP detectives, resulted in Mr Eguakin being charged with two counts of sexual assault.

“Eguakin’s behaviour was predatory and deeply distressing for both victims. No one should feel unsafe or be subjected to such violations as they travel,” BTP Detective Constable David Stewart said.
