A SEX attacker who went to school in Taunton has been sentenced to nine years in prison after he carried out a reign of terror on women in Bath city centre.
Former firefighter Adrian Warburton, also known as Michael, preyed on women for ten months in Bath, carrying out late-night attacks on lone females as they walked home from pubs and clubs.
The 37-year-old married father of two, from Trowbridge, often wore a balaclava and grabbed his victims from behind, but was caught in one of the biggest undercover police operations in the South-West involving 80 officers.
He admitted six counts of sexual assault and three of assault by penetration at Bristol Crown Court.
He was also given a six-year extended sentence, which means he will be supervised in the community when he is released from prison. He will remain on the sex offenders register indefinitely.
