A St. George's teen who touched a young girl inappropriately on a bus appeared in Magistrates' Court yesterday.

Nicholas Wolffe, 19, of Lilly Park Drive in St. George's admitted to intruding upon the privacy of a 15-year-old girl on June 23.

Senior Crown counsel Carrington Mahoney said the offence happened at the bus terminal in the City of Hamilton at 9.45 p.m. that day.

Wolffe sat beside the victim on the left hand side of the bus and positioned himself with his legs open, the court heard.

The girl asked him to close his legs, but Wolffe said his limbs were long and maintained that he needed more room.

He proceeded to outstretch his arms in the back of her seat several times and tried to strike up a conversation.

But the victim paid Wolffe no mind when he spoke and said he smelt like alcohol.

The court heard that he placed his hand in her lap around Shell Service Station in Smith's. At which time she called her mother and asked her to meet her at the bus stop.

Wolffe continued to place his right hand on her left leg and the victim told him: "do not do that I do not know you".

In Magistrates' Court yesterday the teen was represented by defence lawyer Llewellyn Peniston.

According to Mr. Peniston, Wolffe currently works as a chef and will be enrolling at the Bermuda College. He also has an "unblemished record" and was a member of Government's Mirrors programme.

Mr. Peniston said: "A conditional discharge would be urged upon your worship for this young man who has otherwise had an exemplary record".

Acting Senior Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo ordered a social inquiry report on the teenager, who will appear back in court for sentencing on September 14.

Wolffe was released on $2,000 bail with one surety until then.
