'Completely hammered' Leeds pervert given final chance to turn up for court sober
A pervert with a history of sexual offending was unable to be dealt with at court having turned up drunk for a third time.
Lloyd Morris was described by the judge as being “completely hammered” and was not even brought into the courtroom at Leeds Crown Court after being told he was “laid on the floor” and accompanied by a court security guard.
The 37-year-old was due to face charges relating to a failure to comply with the terms of the sex offender register.
Judge Richard Mansell KC said it was the third time Morris has been scheduled to appear, but had been too drunk on each occasion. He told the court: “I can’t get him before me at the moment in a fit state.”
But he said he would give him “one final chance” to turn up sober, adjourning his case until the afternoon of September 25.
Morris, of Dewsbury Road, Hunslet, was last before the courts for breaching the sex offender register and was given a 12-month community order.
He was previously jailed in 2023 for masturbating towards a woman in public and on a different date, sexually assaulting two women at Leeds Railway Station.
He was found guilty after a trial having denied all matters.
