A
“sexual predator” who twice assaulted a teenage boy – once in
the street and again at his home - has been locked-up for six years.
Peter
Stewart, 52, (pictured) of Conningham Road, Shepherd's Bush was also
placed on the Sexual Offenders Register for life.
Isleworth
Crown Court heard paedophile Stewart approached the 15 year-old at
8.00pm in Holland Park Avenue as he walked towards Notting Hill
Underground Station on May 27.
The
youngster was travelling home after playing football nearby with
friends when the defendant engaged him in conversation and asked for
his phone number and age.
Stewart
then kissed the victim and sexually assaulted him in the street.
The
terrified teenager tried to escape, but Stewart was able to coerce
him into a taxi, which took him to his home address, where he was
again subjected to a sexual assault.
The
victim was finally allowed to leave and reported the incident to
police, who arrested the defendant the next day.
Detective
Inspector Julian King said: “Peter Stewart is a sexual predator,
who deliberately targeted a young boy and subjected him to a
sustained sexual assault.
“I
would like to praise the victim whose courage and determination in
reporting the incident to police has helped ensure Stewart has been
removed from the streets and can't target any other youngsters.”
