A MAN from Middlewich who sexually assaulted a disabled woman on a train has been hauled back to court after breaching requirements of the sex offenders register.
David Baden Kemp, of Manor Fields, failed to comply with notification requirements which make it necessary for him, by law, to sign the register.
The 60-year-old appeared in Crewe Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, June 7, to be sentenced for the offence.
He was originally jailed for six months on September 7, 2016, after sexually assaulting a disabled woman on a train near Sandbach.
The Guardian previously reported how Kemp and his victim boarded the same train at Sandbach Station on June 12, 2015.
He then approached the victim in an empty carriage and asked her to move so he could sit next to her.
When she refused, he tried to engage her in conversation. Again, she refused.
Kemp then dropped to his knees in front of her and began running his hand up her leg.
She immediately reported the incident to the train guard, and Kemp was met and arrested by British Transport Police at the next station.
As well as the six-month prison sentence for this offence, Kemp was placed on the register for six years - expiring in September 2022.
Crewe Magistrates’ Court has now fined him £120 for failing to sign on.
He must also pay £85 in court costs and a £34 victim surcharge.
His guilty plea was taken into account.
