Two delivery men trapped and sexually assaulted a vulnerable teenage girl in her own home.
Sadnam Singh and Navjot Singh were delivering a TV unit to the girl’s home in Preston after her mum had bought it on eBay. With the mum at work, the 14-year-old answered the door and the two men carried the unit upstairs.
But once inside, the sick pair targeted the helpless child. Sadnam Singh approached and sexually assaulted her.

He pinned her against the wall while Navjot Singh watched on laughing. Navjot Singh then sexually assaulted her as well before the men left the property.
The girl locked the front door and immediately phoned her mum, crying hysterically as she told her what had happened. Lancashire Police launched an investigation and both men were arrested later the same morning in Preston.
Sadnam Singh, 28, of Dunoon Drive, Wolverhampton, and Navjot Singh, 26, of Bushbury Road, Wolverhampton, were both found guilty of sexual assault after a trial at Preston Crown Court
When they returned before the court earlier this week (16th June), they were both jailed for two-and-a-half years and ordered to sign the sex offenders register. Both were made subject of an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a restraining order.
Detective Constable Ben Clegg of Preston CID, said: “The victim was only 14 and she was sexually assaulted in a place where she should have felt safe – her own home.
“These two men took advantage of her when making a delivery to the address in their job as delivery drivers.
“This was a horrible assault on a teenager, and I welcome the sentence imposed by the judge on them.”
