PROMISE MUSEMWA FROM WATERLOOVILLE JAILED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT IN SOUTHSEA PUB

In a case that has drawn significant attention, Promise Musemwa, a 27-year-old resident of Waterlooville, has been sentenced to a year in prison following his conviction for sexual assault by touching. The incident took place at a popular pub in Southsea, specifically the One-Eyed Dog on Elm Grove, and the events unfolded in the early hours of Saturday, September 25, 2021.

According to court records, a teenage girl was on the dancefloor when she was approached by Musemwa. It was during this encounter that he committed the sexual assault, an act that has now led to his legal downfall. The assault was characterized by inappropriate touching, which the victim reported and which was subsequently confirmed during the investigation.

On Thursday, August 17, 2023, Portsmouth Crown Court handed down the sentence to Musemwa, who resides on Downs Close in Waterlooville. The court had previously found him guilty on July 19 of the same year, after a trial that examined the evidence and testimonies presented.

Judge Henry, presiding over the case, did not hold back in his remarks about Musemwa’s conduct. He described the actions as “unacceptable” and “arrogant,” emphasizing the seriousness of the offense and the impact it had on the victim. The judge’s comments underscored the court’s stance on such behavior, reinforcing the message that sexual misconduct will be met with firm legal consequences.

The case highlights ongoing concerns about safety and respect in social venues, and the legal proceedings serve as a reminder of the importance of accountability for such offenses. Musemwa’s imprisonment reflects the judiciary’s commitment to addressing sexual assault cases and protecting individuals from harm in public spaces.
