Man Admits Sexual Assault at Town Centre Shop

A man has been ordered to pay compensation and made subject of a restraining order after admitting sexual assault at a shop in Market Harborough.

Jason Morrow, 56, of Steeplechase Way, Market Harborough, was also fined £5,632 after pleading guilty at Leicester Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

The court heard that on December 3rd last year, Morrow intentionally touched a woman aged 16 or over without her consent, by placing his hands on her thighs.

He was also ordered to pay £500 compensation to the victim, £85 in prosecution costs, and a £2,000 victim surcharge.

As part of the sentence, Morrow is subject to a restraining order until October 2027, which prevents him from contacting witnesses or attending a shop on the High Street.
