A drunk Anfield groper who assaulted two Eastern European women complained “you come to my city and then tell me you’re offended?” when they told him to stop.
Roy Lee Johnson, 57, was living in shared accommodation in the Anfield area when he approached the women in a communal kitchen.
He pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual assault at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court today.
Amanda Cullen, prosecuting, told the court one of the victims went into the kitchen to prepare food at 10pm on Tuesday November 3.
Ms Cullen said: “Roy Johnson was in the kitchen eating. He made some light conversation and she continued to prepare her supper.
“While she had her front to the kitchen cabinet, he walked around a table and touched her.”
The court heard Johnson made lewd comments about her husband and when the woman shouted at him to stop, he complained about her being offended.
Johnson, who appeared drunk, was arrested after the woman called the police.
When the offence was reported another resident in the property also made an allegation that she had been groped by Johnson.
The court heard Johnson had previous convictions for possession of an offensive weapon and possession of cannabis, but had never been convicted of a sexual offence.
Johnson, with short grey hair and wearing a black Barbour jacket, was remanded in custody after he was unable to provide the court with a suitable address away from his victims.
The case was adjourned for a pre-sentence report to be prepared and Johnson will be sentenced on November 24.
