Man Arrested for Violent Assaults on Sikh Woman in Walsall Remains Behind Bars

A 32-year-old British man, John Ashby, has been remanded in custody after entering no plea in a Birmingham magistrates' court. He faces charges of rape, religiously aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentional strangulation, and robbery following an attack on a Sikh woman in Walsall's Park Hall area on October 25.

According to authorities, the victim was in her 20s when she was subjected to the violent assault. Police have identified Ashby, a white British man from Stockland Green in Birmingham, as the suspect in the case. He is also accused of stealing jewelry and a mobile phone from the victim.

Ashby's court appearance was marked by intense emotions in the packed public gallery. After speaking briefly to confirm his name and date of birth, he entered no plea and did not apply for bail. As a result, he was remanded in custody.

The court had to intervene when an individual in the gallery swore at Ashby, prompting an apology from the person involved. Judge Wain cautioned against such outbursts, saying that while emotions ran high, such behavior was unacceptable.

Ashby's case is set to be heard again on November 26 at the Birmingham Crown Court. The incident has sparked widespread concern and outrage in the community, highlighting the need for improved support and protection for vulnerable individuals.
 
I AM SO SAD TO HEAR ABOUT THIS FELLOW WHO THINKS IT'S OKAY TO TARGET SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGION!! 🤯😡 HE MUST BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE COMMUNITY IMMEDIATELY AND GIVE HIM THE HARSHEST SENTENCE POSSIBLE. I FEEL SO BAD FOR THAT SIKH WOMAN, SHE MUST HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH SUCH A TOUGH TIME. WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AS A SOCIETY AND MAKE SURE SOMETHING LIKE THIS CAN NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!!! 🙏💖
 
Ugh, can't believe how times have changed 🤕... I mean, back in my day we didn't hear about these kinds of attacks as much. It's just so sad that people still think they can get away with this sorta thing 😢. I've got a niece who's Sikh and she's always told me to be respectful to everyone, no matter what their faith is 🙏. This guy Ashby needs to rot in prison for what he did! And it's not just the victim, all those people in the gallery getting emotional... it's just a mess 🤯. We need to do better, you know?
 
🤕 this is just so disturbing I cant even think of what to say about john ashby's actions towards that poor sikh woman in walsall he needs help not a jail cell ASAP we need better ways to prevent such attacks on people based on their faith or culture our community should be able to feel safe and supported especially for those who are already vulnerable 🌟
 
just cant believe how violent society we livin in rn 💔😡, you got some dude just attackin a woman 'cause of her faith?! that's straight up unacceptable 🙅‍♂️, gotta make sure justice served on this one ASAP ⏰, and what really gets me is the guy in the public gallery tryna be a hero by swearin at him 🤬, but judge put his foot down 👮‍♂️, need to show zero tolerance for that kinda behavior 😒, anyway, glad Ashby behind bars for now 🔓
 
omg this is so suspicious like why did he enter no plea straight away? it looks like he's getting off easy 🤔💔 is it because of a deal or something? and what's with the police not releasing any surveillance footage yet? seems fishy to me 📺👮‍♂️ the fact that the victim was subjected to such violent assault and he just happens to be arrested on the same day is too much of a coincidence for me 😒
 
🚨 Justice needs to catch up with reality, man! If someone's gonna go berserk on a woman just 'cause of her faith, they should get life without parole 💔😡
 
Ugh man, this is so sad 🤕😡 I cant even imagine what the poor Sikh woman went thru 💔 She's just a human being trying to live her life and gets attacked like that? It's just not right 😔 And the fact that he stole her stuff too? That's just low 🤑

I'm glad the guy got arrested tho, now he can't hurt anyone else. But it's also sad because this is just another example of how our society isn't doing enough to protect ppl from violence & hate crimes 💔👮‍♂️ We need 2 do better, we need 2 be more understanding & empathetic towards each other.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the court case goes well for the victim & she gets the justice she deserves 🤞
 
🤕 I'm just shocked by this news 🤯. Can you believe someone would do something like that to a woman, especially one from a minority group? 🙅‍♂️ It's just devastating to think about the trauma she must've gone through 😔. And what really gets me is how no one should have to live in fear of being attacked because of who they are or where they come from 🌎. The fact that this guy is still behind bars and not getting the help he needs is a good start, but we need to do more to prevent these types of incidents from happening in the first place 💪.
 
I'm so worried about this poor Sikh woman who went through that horrific experience 🤕. It's just not right that someone can be targeted because of their faith or identity 🙅‍♂️. The fact that he didn't even apply for bail shows how confident the police must have had in their case, which is a good thing 💯. But still, it's not okay that the community has to deal with this kind of hate crime 😔. I hope justice is served and Ashby gets the punishment he deserves 🤞. And yeah, it's crazy that some people can't even control themselves in court when emotions run high 😂. We need more support for victims like her, not just words of sympathy 💕.
 
😕 You know what really gets me about these cases? Not that it's ever okay to hurt someone, but how do we prevent this stuff from happening in the first place? 🤔 We're always talking about building stronger communities, but when it comes down to it, some people just seem to be missing out on basic human decency. I mean, a jewelry shop and a phone? That's not even worth getting worked up over. It's all about respect for each other, right? 🙏
 
😔 my heart goes out to that poor woman who had to go through such a horrific experience 🤕 she's lucky to be alive and I hope she gets the best possible support and care from the authorities and her community 💕 it's just so wrong that someone would target another person because of their faith or culture 🙅‍♂️ we need to do more to stop these types of attacks and make our communities safe for everyone 💖
 
🚔💪 this whole thing is just crazy! I mean, 32 years old and you're already doing stuff like this? rape, assault... it's just so senseless. 🤯 what's going on with our society that we can't even protect these women?! 😩 the fact that he was remanded in custody without even saying a word is actually kind of reassuring? like, finally someone's being held accountable. 💼 and can you imagine walking around Walsall feeling like your life's been threatened just because of who you are? 🙅‍♀️ I'm all for the community coming together to support the victim, but we also need to think about how we can prevent this kind of thing from happening in the first place. 🤝 better education, more resources... something needs to change! 💡
 
omg u no wnter its just so disheartening wen ppl r so violent towards others jus bc of their religion 🤕 i feel 4 the poor sikh woman who was attacked she's still shakin from dat trauma...ashby needs 2 get his acts 2gether & face justice ASAP he cant just hide behind a plea not guilty n expect everythin 2 b alright 😒 its not rite that he stole her jewels nd phone too, that jus shows how despicable he is 32 yrs old n hes still actin like a 16 yr old bully 🤷‍♂️ anywayz i hop he gets punished hard & the community comes together 2 support the victim n prevent such incidents from happenin again 💪
 
It's a sobering reminder of the complexities of human nature... this guy, Ashby, he was just a face in the crowd until he crossed a line, and now he's facing justice 🕷️. It got me thinking, what drives someone to commit such atrocities? Is it a lack of empathy, or is it something deeper? We all have the capacity for both good and evil within us... and when we choose the latter, where does that leave our sense of self? 🤔

And then there's the victim, a young Sikh woman who was targeted because of her faith... it's heartbreaking to think about what she must've gone through. The fact that she's still breathing is a testament to the strength of the human spirit 💪.

It's also striking how our emotions can boil over in public spaces, like that gallery... some people lose their cool when they see someone else losing theirs 😩. We need to work on our emotional intelligence, not just for ourselves, but for those around us who may be struggling. It's all about creating a space where we can support each other, rather than tear each other down 💕.
 
I'm not surprised they caught this guy... I mean, how hard is it to guess someone's guilty when there are all these witnesses? But still, 32 years old and he thinks he can just go around assaulting people without consequences? The fact that the victim was Sikh doesn't surprise me either, more like the predictable move of a racist/sexist. And what really gets my goat is how some idiot in the gallery had to swear at him to get some respect. Like, hello, this guy's going to prison but we still have people yelling at each other in court? The system's broken, if you ask me 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm really worried about this guy getting released from prison 🤕. He committed some serious crimes and it's disgusting how he attacked that poor woman in broad daylight. I think the judge was right to ban the swearing in court, that's just not on 😡. As a community we need to come together and support each other, especially the Sikh community who have been victimized by this kind of hate crime 🙏. We should be focusing on helping the real victims here, like the one who got assaulted, rather than getting worked up about Ashby's behavior 👊.
 
I'm so relieved this scumbag is behind bars! He must've thought he was above the law or something. I mean, rape and robbery are serious offenses, let alone targeting someone just because of their faith. It's just disgusting. And what really gets me is that he's from a pretty affluent area too, like it's somehow less serious because of his background. Newsflash: it doesn't work that way! He should be facing the max for this one. 💥😡
 
this case makes me super uneasy 😟 - I mean, assaulting someone because of their religion? that's just so... messed up 🤯. and to think he got away with not saying a word in court... it's like he thought he was above the law 🚫. I'm glad the judge called out that guy who swore at him, though - can't let that kind of behavior disrupt the proceedings 💁‍♀️. anyway, I just hope justice is served on November 26 and this guy gets what's coming to him ⏰...
 
😕 this kind of thing makes me so sad... like what's going through his head that he would do such a thing to someone?! 🤯 she was just minding her own business and then BAM! assault and robbery... it's just not right. we need to do better as a society to support each other, especially those who are already vulnerable 😔
