A man has been found guilty of carrying out a knifepoint sex attack on a woman in Little Bowden, Market Harborough.
Peter Smith (33) formerly of Rushton Road, Rothwell, Northamptonshire, approached a 23-year-old woman in an alleyway in November last year. He threatened her with a knife, forced her to the ground and then touched her inappropriately.
He was arrested months later on February 18, after an incident in Desborough when he attempted to kidnap a 17-year-old woman in Desborough.
Smith was convicted of sexual assault, possession of a bladed weapon and two counts of kidnap at Northampton Crown Court.
During the trial Smith had denied possession of a bladed article, kidnap and sexual assault. He also denied attempted kidnap of the 17-year-old woman.
He is due to be sentenced on Friday, December 14.
