A THIRTY-FOUR year old man from Plumtree was dragged to court on charges of fondling a woman's breasts and buttocks without her consent.
Ndumiso Ngulube was sentenced to one year behind bars by magistrate Joshua Nembaware for indecent assault.
Ngulube was lucky to escape prison after the magistrate suspended six months on condition of good behaviour.
The remaining six months were set aside on condition that he completes 210 hours of community service at Patse Primary School.
Prosecutor Selestine Madziwa told the court that on November 6 this year, the complainant was at the shops when Ngulube arrived and started fondling her breasts.
He kept on fondling her buttocks, telling her that he was sex starved.
The complainant started crying and Ngulube stopped his shenanigans.
A police report was made, leading to his arrest. .
