SEX OFFENDER STEVEN KAVUMA JAILED AGAIN AFTER TRAIN HARASSMENT
A sex offender who was previously convicted of committing a series of offences on Nottinghamshire trains has been jailed again.
Steven Kavuma, of Raleigh Street, near Arboretum, breached his restraining order just four days after being released from prison.
The 20-year-old pleaded guilty to the breach at Derby Crown Court on February 6 and was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment.
On January 7, Kavuma boarded a train at Hucknall station and approached a woman travelling on her own.
Police say he repeatedly pestered her and tried to engage her in conversation, causing the woman to become distressed.
She reported his behaviour to the train guard who contacted police.
Officers checked CCTV and identified Kavuma from the footage.
He had been released from prison on January 3 after being found guilty of a series of sexual offences on trains in the same area.
On his release, he had been subject to a restraining order which prohibited him from travelling on any direct rail service between Nottingham and Worksop between 5am and 10am, and 3pm and 7pm.
Following the incident between Hucknall and Langwith stations, officers arrested him later that day on suspicion of breaching his restraining order, and he was remanded in custody until court.
Detective Sergeant Ian Wright said: “Kavuma is clearly a dangerous and persistent offender, who has a string of convictions for targeting lone women on public transport.
“I am relieved, as I know his victims will be, to see him back in prison and I hope his custodial sentence sends a clear message about the seriousness of breaching court orders.
“Thankfully we were able to very quickly identify Kavuma following the most recent incident and bring him back before the courts.
