EDEN GRANDAD ON SEX OFFENDER REGISTER AFTER GROPING SCHOOLGIRL
An Eden Valley grandfather, Kevin Bousfield, aged 62, has been placed on the Sex Offender Register after admitting to groping a schoolgirl.
The incident occurred while the teenage girl was waiting for a lift; Bousfield approached her from behind, touched her, which left her shocked and upset.
He pleaded guilty to a single count of sexual assault, although his defence lawyer clarified that the behaviour was not intended to be sexual.
The court was presented with a victim personal statement where the girl expressed feelings of upset, frustration, and confusion, noting the incident affected her exam revision and concentration.
Bousfield, who has no prior convictions, committed the act while under the influence of alcohol.
The defendant expressed genuine remorse, with references highlighting his good character and noting that the incident was out of character.
He was sentenced to a 12-month community order, 100 hours of unpaid work, five rehabilitation activity days, and must register as a sex offender for five years, pay £100 in victim compensation, and a £100 surcharge.
