A woman customer in a bar was left shocked after a man she did not know put his hand inside her clothing and bra and groped her breast.
Craig Josiah Williams, aged 25, of Carwynnen Close, Praze-an-Beeble,pleaded guilty at Truro Magistrates Court to sexually assaulting a female at the Lounge Bar in Camborne on September 20. He told the police he had drunk ten pints of beer or cider that day and was drunk, although he could not remember much of what he did. He had previous convictions.
She shouted and swore at him and he removed his hand, leaving her upset and very angry.
Martin Pearce, his solicitor, said he was extremely apologetic and remorseful. There had been an exchange of words between the two resulting in what he described as a fleeting minimal touching.
Williams, a self-employed builder, had his case adjourned to November 4 for reports.
