Bus-stop Leeds pervert who groped woman is locked up days after being given suspended sentence
He forgot to register his address with police, so ended up behind bars
A pervert who groped a woman at a bus stop and was later seen masturbating was taken into custody just days after being handed a chance by the courts.
Patrik Rybar previously escaped with a suspended sentence for his sickening behaviour and put on the sex offender register.
As part of the order, he must register his address, but failed to do so just five days after his court appearance.
The 24-year-old was then arrested and found to have cannabis and £30 worth of amphetamine on him.
He was held on remand at HMP Leeds, and appeared at Leeds Crown Court again this week over a video link.
He admitted the breach and two counts of possessing Class B drugs.
Rybar, formerly of Dewsbury Road, Hunslet, but now of no fixed address, has 10 previous convictions for 14 offences.
Prosecutor Thomas Harris said Rybar sexually assaulted a woman at a bus stop on North Street in Leeds earlier this year, tapping her on the bottom.
He was later seen masturbating at the bus stop, and when he was finally arrested, exposed his genitals to officers.
He was given a 23-week sentence, suspended for 18 months, and put on the sex offender register for seven years.
Mitigating, Mollie Briggs said work to rehabilitate Rybar had not begun before his quick re-arrest.
She said he was now complying and taking his medication.
Ms Briggs said Rybar had been homeless after his sex convictions and added: “He was focussed on trying to fix an address that he let his obligation slip.”
Judge Simon Batiste gave him a conditional discharge, meaning he would be freed from custody.
However, he extended the suspension period of his 23-week sentence from 18 months to 21 months.
