A man has been told he is facing a jail sentence for sex assaults on two teenage girls.

The girls were sitting eating some takeaway food on a bench near St Andrew’s Church in Halstead when Mohammed Chowdhury , whom they knew as Kibbs, gestured for them to come over to them.

When they did, he groped one girl and when she told him to get off, he groped the other teenager.

One of the girls phoned her dad after the incident on September 28 last year and police were told.

The court heard how both girls were left shaken and upset by the incident.

Chowdhury, 26, denied two sex assault charges but was convicted after a trial at Chelmsford Crown Court.
