Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10
Description
A MAN will have to wait even longer to hear his fate.
We reported earlier this year that Michael Sefton, previously of Pershore, admitted two offences of sexual assault and exposure.
The court previously heard Sefton intentionally touched a woman sexually without her consent and exposed his genitals - intending that someone would see them and be caused alarm or distress - at Worcestershire Royal Hospital on April 25 last year.
The 60-year-old appeared at Worcester Crown Court on Friday, (June 2), expecting to be sentenced.
But at the start of the hearing Michael Aspinall, prosecuting, explained Sefton, of Stanhope Way, Great Barr, Birmingham, had admitted a further offence of sexual assault of a similar nature at Worcester Magistrates Court last week, .
In that hearing magistrates chose to wait for the outcome of the crown court matters before sentencing and kept the matter at magistrates court.
The prosecutor asked for an adjournment so the matters could be tied together with Jason Aris, defending, supporting that application.
Recorder John Benson KC agreed to the adjournment so that magistrates could send the other matter up to the high court.
The judge told Sefton, who was given unconditional bail, to return to the crown court for his sentencing on July 14.
