OAP Banned From Local Park After Sexual Assault

Grange Park

An octogenarian has been banned from his local park after admitting he sexually assaulted a woman.

Brian Roberts, 83, cannot go within fifty metres of Grange Park, Coulsdon for the next twelve months.

At Croydon Magistrates' Court he pleaded guilty to intentionally sexually touching a woman at the park on August 16, last year.

The court bailed him for a Probation Service interview and preparation of a pre-sentence report.

Pensioner Roberts, of Forge Avenue, Coulsdon was sentenced to a twelve-month community order, which carries the requirement that he cannot go within fifty metres of the park.

He was also ordered to pay £200 compensation to the victim, plus £85 costs and a £95 victim surcharge.
