A man has been jailed for 11 years after sexually assaulting two women, including one aged in her 80s.
Mohammed Haque, 21, of Northampton, first attacked a woman in her 50s as she walked across the town's Racecourse park in November.
Weeks later he attacked the pensioner in her own home after driving around looking for a vulnerable victim.
Judge Michael Fowler said it as an "evil" crime.
The first attack happened when Haque had gone to work at Morrisons supermarket in Northampton on 10 November, but there was no work for him that day.
He loitered around the Racecourse and attacked a woman in her 50s, the court heard.
'Worst nightmare'
Gordon Aspen, prosecuting, said: "He approached her quickly, put one hand over her mouth and the other over her eyes and told her not to make a sound."
He said Haque, of Lindsay Avenue, dragged her off the street "struggling and screaming", told her he had a knife and threatened to kill her.
When she resisted the court heard he punched her in the side of the head. His DNA was found on her clothing.
Eleven weeks later Haque forced his way into the elderly woman's home.
The prosecutor said that he "ordered her to take off her clothes". When she refused he threatened her with a metal pole and stripped her from the waist down.
Police traced Haque by CCTV images of his car.
He admitted sexual assault, assault causing actual bodily harm, trespass with sexual intent and robbery.
Speaking about the first attack, Judge Fowler said it was "every woman's worst nightmare".
Of the second attack he said "the victim was as vulnerable as one can imagine".
Haque will remain on the sex offenders' list for life .
