April 2016 Man spared jail after making sex remarks to boys in park A PERVERT who made sexual comments to boys in a Bury park has been spared immediate jail. Bolton Crown Court heard how he approached two groups of boys in Monkey Hill Park at 3.30pm on November 11 last year. Duncan Wilcock, prosecuting, told how Aziz Rezaei first called an 11-year-old boy and asked him to take part in a sex game with him. “The winner comes home with me tonight,” 27-year-old Rezaei told the frightened boy, who ran back to his friends. A short time later in the same park, Rezaei called to a 13-year-old boy, who was at the swings with three friends, to “come here and help me.” But when the teenager went towards him he made a similar sexual suggestion. “He was looking him straight in the eye and appeared very serious,” said Mr Wilcock, who added that the boy had been very shocked. In a statement read in court the boy said: “The incident, as it was happening, made me feel anxious. I didn’t know what he was going to do.” Police were called and Rezaei was arrested after he went on to approach two 15 and 16-year-old schoolgirls. He pleaded guilty to two counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and also admitted giving a false address to police. Joseph O’Connor, defending, said Rezaei, from Afghanistan, had been living in England for 10 years but had not been able to settle and had become homeless after being evicted from his council property for non-payment of rent. He added that on the day Rezaei had been drinking heavily and taking cocaine and cannabis so only has a limited recollection. “He wishes to express deep remorse for his actions,” said Mr O’Connor. Rezaei, of Glastonbury, Rochdale, was sentenced to 16 months in prison, suspended for two years, must participate in 45 days of rehabilitation activities and undertake 140 hours of unpaid work. A sexual harm prevention order prohibiting him from speaking in a sexual manner in public was made and he will be on the sex offenders’ register for 10 years. The Honorary Recorder of Bolton, Judge Timothy Clayson told Rezaei: “What you said to each of those young boys will have been, and was, very disturbing to them and, of course, grossly inappropriate.”
