Birmingham man jailed after robbing thousands of pounds from escort

Fleury Tsaty was jailed last week after he was found guilty of robbery in September.

A young woman who was working as an escort at the time, came forward after Tsaty robbed thousands of pounds from her and after seriously assaulting her.

On 30 March, the victim was locked out of her apartment by Tsaty. When he eventually let her back in, he and another man ambushed her, knocking her to the floor before assaulting her and stealing thousands of pounds. The woman reported what happened to her and on 6 April, Tsaty was stopped in his car by police. Checks revealed that he was wanted for the offence and he was subsequently arrested.

Despite answering no comment throughout his interview and pleading not guilty to the attack, a jury found him guilty of robbery and serious assault. Last Thursday (November 2) he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison.

What has West Midlands Police said?

Detective Constable Goodman from the Birmingham Robbery Team, said: “The woman has shown incredible courage in reporting what happened to the police and has assisted in convicting a violent offender.

“We hope the woman’s bravery encourages other women who are subjected to violence to come forward, we are here to help and listen.”
