WORCESTER SHRUB HILL STATION WORKER GUILTY OF SEX ATTACK ON TEENAGE GIRL

A MAN working at Worcester's Shrub Hill Station has been found guilty of a sex attack on a teenage passenger.

Mohammed Aamar, of Shireland Road, Smethwick, was on trial at Worcester Crown Court, accused of four counts of sexual assault.

On November 28, he was convicted of two counts of sexual assault and found not guilty of the other two charges.

During the trial, prosecutor Holly Sims told the jury that Aamar had been working as a contractor at the station when he attacked a 14-year-old girl waiting for a train.

"The defendant was working there and had a high-vis jacket on," said Miss Sims.

The jury was told that Aamar asked the girl—who cannot be named for legal reasons—where she was going.

When she told him, he looked up her destination on his phone and directed her to a platform.

"As they were talking he was commenting on her looks and said she looks really nice," said Miss Sims.

"He said do you want to go inside as you look cold." The girl decided to go into what she thought was a waiting room, trusting the defendant as a person in authority.

Once inside, she realized it wasn't a waiting room and the defendant began making suggestive comments before sexually assaulting her.

Judge Nicolas Cartwright ordered a pre-sentence report and scheduled the sentencing for December 23 at Worcester Crown Court.
