Stepdad in sex assault
A GOLD Coast woman’s life turned into “chaos” after her stepfather groped her bottom and made inappropriate remarks, tearing their family apart, a court was told.
The man said to the woman “no one has an arse like yours” after he sexually assaulted her on November 22, 2016. She was 17.
He pleaded guilty in the Southport Magistrates Court yesterday to sexual assault.
The 46-year-old was drunk when he grabbed the teenager’s bottom for a “few seconds” in the home where they lived. Her mother was not home at the time.
He told the girl “not all girls have a butt like that sweetie” and “it’s hard not to notice you” in a follow-up text conversation.
The offender wrote an apology to the woman on her 18th birthday.
The man was fined $5000. A conviction was recorded. His former family, including the victim, were present in court.
