Serial bum grope perv walks free

A BLOKE dubbed the ‘ Brighton bottom slapper’ – who groped women while on his bike – has avoided prison.

Constantin Barbutu, 22 ( slapped or groped the bottoms of women as they walked along the street, before quickly pedalling off.

Around 24 women claimed to have fallen victim to him, between September 2016 and February last year.

The Romanian came before Hove Crown Court, where he was freed on a 12- month suspended sentence.

He admitted 11 charges of sexual assault, while 10 other similar counts were ordered to lie on file.

Judge David Rennie said that if it wasn’t for the fact he speaks no English and suffers from mental impairment problems, then he would be facing jail.
