A drunken man assaulted his victim and forcibly kissed her while she lay on the ground, a court has heard.
Alex Ward, of Pembroke Court, Tranmere, appeared at Liverpool Magistrates Court on Tuesday after pleading guilty to one count of assault and one count of sexual assault on a female. Edward Rattigan, prosecuting, detailed that in October last year, in the early hours of the morning, police were contacted by a member of the public informing them that a woman was being assaulted and the perpetrator had taken her phone and watch.
Part of the incident was filmed using a mobile phone and played in court, and showed Ward and the victim outside The Beach nightclub, Birkenhead, in a drunken state. The 24-year-old could be seen taking the woman to the floor a number of times, and kneeling over her while talking to her.
