Warning by judge over bottom pinching
A Warsop man has been given a nine-month community order after leaning over a shop counter and pinching a sales assistant’s bottom.
Mansfield Magistrates’ Court heard how David Peace (56), of The Willows, had pleaded guilty to the incident of sexual assault on 28th February.
As she passed sentence, District Judge Diane Baker said: “What you have done is extremely stupid and a mistake which frightened a young lady working in a shop.
