Paul Banfield was given an 18-week prison sentence which was suspended for two years in 2015.
It came after he admitted inappropriately touching and kissing a 17-year-old girl in Shrewsbury town centre.
He had pleaded guilty to sexual assault at Shrewsbury Crown Court.
The court was told last year that it was the third young girl that Banfield had approached and behaved with in a similar manner.
It was told that the police had growing concerns for the risk he posed to the community.

no it’s not a school thing but wondered if parents would want to know so I pinged you.
actually I re-read this...was hard to read. You know this thing they call journalism these days...
“A restraining order given at the time forbid him from being in Telford town centre during certain hours in school term-time.”
and....
“Banfield said he had not realised school had started again.”
Soooo this pervert could be at the mall doing this when school was not in session?
OOOOOOOKay Waiter Check please!!
Stop the world...I want off!!
When I was a Mall Ninja, we had to ban a guy who was always going in to Jezebel. It’s already here.
Hate to ask....what is Jezebel? I don’t go to malls anymore. I shop local or online.
I thought they were talking about Telford, PA, which is a far-northern suburb of Philadelphia, near Souderton and Perkasie.
Didn’t know school had started?
BS!
And that photo of him at the link IS creepy.
They guy needs more than just locking up.
Maybe they are....am not sure. I got this off a facebook group. Let me ask them some more questions
Metmom you may want to ping this one out...
What threw me is it says he pleaded guilty in “Shrewsbury Crown Court” When I think of “Crown” I think of HM Queen Elizabeth II know what I mean? So naturally I thought this was a criminal court in England. Plus who else would have such an odd ball rule that he could not go near a mall only when school was in session? Yea that sounds like something England would do.
Over here in America I believe all child molesters can’t go near kids at all times, to my knowledge. If I’m wrong someone tell me.
I really don’t know where this happened just that it happened and it’s wrong. Keep your kids safe and by your side.
The Shropshire Star is a newspaper that covers events in Shropshire, which is a county in the English Midlands.
The largest city in Shropshire is Shrewsbury, which we would call the “county seat.” Telford is apparently the second-most populous town in Shropshire, and was formed by incorporating several smaller towns. Thus Telford is a “new town.”
Shropshire includes the town of Ironbridge, which is so named because within it the very first bridge in the world made of cast iron; it was opened to traffic on 1 January 1781. Its construction is said to mark the beginning of the industrial revolution. It crosses the River Severn near Telford.
I don’t know if it really qualifies for the arth list or the HS ping list.
It’s not a school related thing, but a general pervert menace thing.
And that is so common these days, sadly, that parents need to be careful anyways.
In our community we regularly get notices in our mail box from the school about registered sex offenders who live in the area. They contain the mug shot, age, general location and seriousness of the the crime, whether level one, two, or three.
I’m also hoping that Trump will win and there will be a general change back to a more moral culture that will deal with this kind of stuff more appropriately.
very interesting... thank you
