DI Jodie Hayes said: “Adam Martin committed a shocking attack against a lone victim, and we welcome his sentencing at court today.
“He identified and followed his victim before committing a sustained and vicious attack. There is no doubt whatsoever that he is a highly dangerous sexual offender who has acted in the most predatory way.
“It is welcome that his guilty plea may have spared the victim the ordeal of a trial but, in truth, the weight of evidence against him was so substantial he had little choice but to enter this plea.”
