A Swindon man molested a teenage boy while managing a restaurant.
61-year-old Carl Brown was running Jack’s, in Victoria Road, Old Town, when he sexually assaulted the youngster at the establishment in 2022.
The defendant was found guilty at his trial at Swindon Magistrates’ Court in September 2023, before returning for sentencing on 4 January this year.
At a previous hearing, prosecutor Asha Seenauth said he grabbed the boy’s penis and put his finger into his bottom over his clothing.
Magistrates imposed a 12-month community order, which includes 30 rehabilitation activity days and 150 hours of unpaid work.
He was told to pay £300 compensation to the victim, and pay £620 costs and a £95 surcharge.
Brown, of Highworth Road, must register as a sex offender for five years.
Victims of sexual crimes have the right to lifelong anonymity. It is an imprisonable criminal offence to share any piece of information that could lead to their identification.
