| Isleworth Crown Court |
Feisal Khan, 37, was arrested on October 9 in an Ealing branch of Paddy Power, from which he was barred, and pleaded guilty to possessing a small quantity of the drug.
He was sent to Isleworth Crown Court for sentencing because the offence placed him in breach of a six month suspended prison sentence imposed a fortnight earlier on August 23.
Khan had to keep out of trouble for two years after he was convicted of sexually assaulting the female betting shop employee he kissed and attempted to hug as she left work.
The court heard as he was questioned by police just 19 days after that sentencing he dropped a small wrap of cannabis.
Today, Judge Jonathan Ferris asked why Khan had failed to complete any of the 60 days rehabilitation he was ordered to after the sex assault conviction.
“It is just inadequate, full stop. He has only been required to attend one out of sixty occasions and my question is with the probation service.
“He does not have much to comply with,” added the judge, who was told the rehab programme was too “overcrowded” for Khan to attend.
“He's got a poor record,” said Judge Ferris, who heard Khan has two previous drug convictions, plus another sexual assault conviction for touching a male.
The suspended sentence was not activated and Khan was ordered to pay just a £25 fine for breaching it.
He remains on the sex offenders register for seven years.
