Then she asked: ‘How big is it?’

A PERVY pensioner tried to grab a medic’s genitals and asked him: “How big is it?”

Christine Roles, 68, felt the man’s knee as he checked her blood pressure before moving her hand up to his crotch.

The paramedic, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pushed her hand away.

But she then tried to stroke his chest before telling him to “f *** off ”, a court heard.

Roles, who denied sexual assault, was earlier deemed unfit to formally plead in court due to a memory loss problem and was ordered to sign the Sex Offender Register.

The incident took place on April 24 last year when Roles called 999 after having a fall at her flat in Flixton, Manchester.

The city’s magistrate­s heard she had a history of boozing and making hoax calls.

The paramedic said: “I placed her arm down with the palm up onto my leg and she turned it round onto my knee and I said it was inappropri­ate to touch me like that.

“I said: ‘What are you doing?’ And she said: ‘I was just seeing if I could make you jump.’

“I moved my hand away and pushed the hand off my knee and we had a discussion about how it is inappropri­ate to touch people in that manner, especially when you are there to help.

“Then she tried to grab hold of my crotch and asked how big it was.

“She must have got halfway up my thigh. I pushed her hand away. I had to physically remove her off myself.”

Roles will have psychiatri­c tests and face court again next month.
