A pervert sexually assaulted a teenager at a bus stop as she waited with her sister. The 15-year-old was attacked by Nazakat Hussain in Bordesley Green in August.
She immediately told the bus driver who alerted police and the 44-year-old was arrested. Hussain, of no fixed address, initially denied the allegation.
But he was found guilty of sexual assault by touching and was yesterday, November 14, jailed for six months.

Insp Lee Davies, from the Safer Travel Team, said: "We would like to commend the girl for having the bravery to come forward. Her quick actions ensured that Hussain was quickly arrested. Everyone should be able to use public transport across the West Midlands safely and we take offences of this kind very seriously.
"Hussain showed no remorse and the judge handed out a jail term after he said that he considered the act to be one of a deliberate nature. In addition to serving the prison term, Hussain must also notify police of his residence for a period of seven years after his release.

"He was also made subject to a sexual harm prevention order for the same period of time, restricting any unsupervised access with children under the age of 16."
Mark Heffernan, chief operating and safety officer for National Express, said: ‘’Hundreds of thousands of journeys are made safely on our buses every single day and incidents of sexual assault are rare, however we will not tolerate anybody who does not respect the right that everybody has to travel safely, without fear of assault or intimidation.’’
