January 2016 Sex pest banned from using buses after molesting schoolgirl on top deck A sex pest has been slapped with a 10-year ban from using any bus during peak hours after molesting a schoolgirl on the top deck. Stefan Sabo will not be allowed to get on a bus between 7am and 9.30am and 3pm and 6pm until 2026. The 30-year-old sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl on the No 11 bus as she made her way to school At Birmingham crown court, Sabo, of Oxhill Road, Handsworth, pleaded guilty to sexual assault and was given an eight month jail term suspended for two years. He was also given the Sexual Harm Prevention Order banning him from buses. Jennifer Josephs, prosecuting, said the incident he was being sentenced for happened at 7.45am in May last year when the girl, wearing her school uniform, got onto the top deck of the bus. Sabo was also there and fairly soon the girl became “very frightened” by his behaviour. Ms Josephs said the girl became so concerned she texted her friend who was sitting downstairs and asked her to come and join her. “The defendant was swearing and had been drinking alcohol and was making comments to the girl, such as ‘you’re beautiful’, ‘I don’t care about the age difference’ and ‘I will do inappropriate things to you’,” she said. The schoolgirl texted her friend, who was by now with her on the top deck, saying “Shall we move?” As the girls walked past Sabo to go downstairs he reached over and sexually assaulted his victim. When both girls arrived at school they told the teachers and police were called. Ms Josephs said the girl gave police a detailed description of Sabo who, at the time, was very distinctive-looking with a mohican hairstyle, tatoos and piercings. She said Sabo’s previous convictions included shoplifting and also another assault on a bus. This occurred in January 2015 when Sabo assaulted a male passenger on a bus and robbed him of his mobile phone. He was sentenced in June last year for these offences and received a suspended prison sentence. But because the sentence took place after the sex assault on the schoolgirl, Sabo was not in breach of it.
