Ethiopian asylum seeker, 41, is found guilty of trying to kiss schoolgirl, 14, in sexual assault that triggered huge protests outside Bell Hotel in Epping

A immigrant trying to kiss a female student before holding a woman who came to help, today, was convicted of sex crimes.

Ethiopia National Hadush Gerberslalasie Kebatu led to a major anti -immigrant demonstration in 41, EPPING, ESSEX, and the local council encouraged and closed Bell Hotel after being arrested in July.

He made inappropriate comments and tried to kiss a 14 -year -old boy while eating pizza with friends on a bench after school.

The next day, when he saw him, they were rejected and a woman who intervened when she put his hand in her thigh was the focus of her attention while touching her leg and trying to kiss her.

While the police were arrested, the images of the police worn as an extraordinary body, as Kabatu was arrested, showed that he was drowned in tears when he was handcuffed by the road.

The defendant refused to try to encourage a three -time sexual assault, sexual assault attempt, harassment accusation and the other to participate in sexual activity, but was sentenced after a hearing at the Chelmsford Magistrate Court.

He will be sentenced on September 23rd.

He was combined by a interpreter in court wearing a gray sweater and Jogger, the regional judge did not react to his decisions Christopher Williams.

Judge Kebatu’yu the most likely result ‘immediately warned that the custody penalty’ warned: ‘This is just the question of how long it took.’

Kebatu came to England in a boat only eight days before he began to harass young people.

Prosecutor Stuart Cowen, who filed the case last week, said, ‘The court will hear from a series of witnesses that the defendant was in EPPING on July 7.

“The complainant, a 14 -year -old girl, will state that her group is on a bench -eating bench and approached by the defendant who appears hungry.

‘They offered him pizza. He sat next to the girl on the counter and began to make inappropriate comments to her and her friends without being encouraged.

“ She said she wanted to have a baby with a girl and tried to kiss her. The group invited Bell Hotel, who was a resident who recently came to England.

“Developments were rejected and the girl and her friend were 14 years old. His response was ‘age is not important’.

The court heard that the girl and her friends were getting up and she walked to Tesco, and Kebatu followed them.

“There was no real sexual assault at that time, but the crown will say that the attempt to kiss him was an attempt to kiss him, Cow said Cowen.

On July 8, the defendant saw his daughter and friends on the bench and approached them and the same behavior was repeated. Unlike the previous day, the girl was wearing the school uniform.

Similar advances were made and rejected. That was the discomfort between a child and the defendant and the defendant.

The defendant then tried to get the girl kissing the child. He didn’t want to do this because he was just a friend, but he kissed the child on the cheek to deter of the defendant.

‘The court will tell the court that the defendant is sexually awakened.’

The court heard what a woman saw and tried to intervene – but she was sexually assaulted to her by putting Kebatu’s hand on her leg and trying to kiss her.

The woman went to a nearby fish and chip shop to get some paper to get the details of the girls, but when she came back, she saw the defendant’s hand in the girl’s thigh.

Mr. Cowen said: ‘The woman was angry and confronted the defendant, saying she would call the police. Then he ran away and followed him. ‘

The prosecutor said the police had been called and arrested.

The girl who gave evidence with the video connection said: ‘He came and sat next to me on the bench. He said, ‘I want a baby with you and your friend’. He tried to kiss me many times, so we decided to leave.

He came the next day and sat next to us and said, ‘I want a baby from you, we can make beautiful Jamaica babies’.

‘I’ I’m 14 years old, it’s really weird ‘. But ‘age doesn’t matter’ he said.

He continued to talk about having a baby with me and trying to kiss me. ‘What are you doing?’

“ I did not want to discuss too much if things increase. I was really crawled. ‘

When the man touched his thigh, he added ‘frozen’ and ‘his mind went empty’ because he was ‘completely shock’.

In an interview with a police, a friend of the girl said: ‘He told us that his name was Thomas. He said he paid 2,500 euros to get a rubber boat to reach this country and that he was only here for a few days. He said he came from Kenya.

Mr. Kebatu rejected five accusations, including sexual assault (the court draft from 26 August)

“ He was trying to give us some of his drinks. He was asking us which school we went to.

He said ‘girl’ go back to Africa, you will be a good wife ‘and tried to kiss her.

“ He was a strange. I didn’t really trust him. I just wished you would go. ‘

Another friend of the girl said: ‘The man came to us and said that he had come to the town, maybe four or five days ago, and asked for pizza. He said he was a very beautiful town with beautiful people.

`Then he started to say that the girl was very beautiful and said that he wanted to have a baby with him. He caressed his hair.

‘Do you want to go to Bell Hotel with me and have a baby?’ He said. The girl said ‘no’.

Molly Dyas suggests that Kabatu does not want pizza from children, did not sit with them on the bench, did not make inappropriate comments to the girl and did not touch him.

Both friends insisted on saying the truth about what happened.

The council members in EPPING won a precautionary measure decision to close Bell Hotel, including immigrants, including Mr. Kebatu.

A woman who saw the attack on July 8, told the court how the defendant intervened when she intervened.

“ The girl looked uncomfortable. He stood up and I saw his hand away from his leg ‘he said.

He’s an adult man. He’s a child. This is not suitable.

‘I asked [Kebatu] What was going on. He said it was nothing. I told him that he was not like anything and he was in school uniform.

He said he was flirting with him. This made me feel disgusted and angry. I called him pedophile and started shouting.

“ `I was wrong and I tried to say that it was a mistake, but I just continued to shout and make a scene.

“ “ Escaped, so I called the police and I followed him. When I caught, he began to beg, beg and apologize, ‘Sorry, sorry, this was a mistake’ he said.

Kebatu, who claims to be a trained teacher in his own country, rejected the allegations in the court.

After the measure was given last week, the protesters organized a demonstration outside the Supreme Court of London.

He said: ‘I am not a wild animal. I can’t do this kind of thing. These are kids, next generation. I’m a Christian, not in my culture.

“ This England, I have the right to move. I was walking with my friend. I’m not a guilty. ‘

In a closing speech today, prosecutor Stuart Cowen said that the children approaching by Mr. Kebatu on July 7 were trying to help him by giving him food.

His answer [was] To abuse their goodwill and sexually corrupt, ” he added.

The prosecutor rejected the defendant’s claim that adult victim conspiracy to frame it with the children, and the theory was incredibly incredible.

Molly Dyas argued that the defending was ‘so inconsistent’ that the evidence should be acquitted. He did not harass them, but he came across them during the ‘curves around the EPPING’.

Barrister, the woman begged not to call the police ‘he said.

The 14 -year -old girl’s family and the attack Kabatu’s family were in court for a decision.

ESSEX Deputy Police Deputy Chief Parliament Stuart Hooper, both the victims and the ‘stand -up and the court is strong and real before the evidence brought’ paid tribute to all witnesses.

The authority added: ‘The accounts of the ones and the Royal Prosecutor’s Office Service were able to secure this conviction for close cooperation with our colleagues.

“ We are aware that this event has attracted the common public interest.

‘We have always said that we treat and investigate every report made to us without fear or good.’

On Tuesday, the EPPING Forest Region Council announced that the Council of the Court of Forestry announced that the Bell Hotel would take the case to close Bell Hotel to the High Court after a temporary Supreme Court of precautionary measure decision that would force 138 asylum seekers to leave until September 12th.

The site owner Somani Hotels argued that he had violated the rules of planning by not notifying EPPING plans for the bell.

A Council spokesman said: ‘The appeal does not decide to do more action, but we must decide to do so.

‘The Court of Appeal will not close our opportunity for him to refuse our request. The Council would still have the right to apply directly to the High Court. ‘

The decision to decide in favor of the hotel chain and home office led to anger and the government’s charges of ‘seized the side of immigrants on the British’ protests spread to cities throughout England.

A second man in the field, the Syrian immigrant Muhammad Sharwarq was accused of sexual assault he rejected. Two weeks ago, six joint attacks accepted the accusation.

Essex police said today that he had arrested 32 people in connection with the disorder outside the hotel and that 21 were accused.
