A man has confessed to sexually assaulting passengers and exposing himself on a bus in Braintree, leading to multiple charges against him.
Braintree: So, there’s this guy, Graeme Hicks, who just admitted to some pretty awful stuff on a bus. He’s 32 and from Stanway. This all went down on December 27 when he decided to expose himself and assault passengers. Not cool, right?
Police got called in after reports started coming in about his behavior. They hopped on the bus around 5:30 PM and arrested him. Turns out, he’s facing a bunch of charges, including sexual assault and indecent exposure. He’s also got some other charges for assaulting emergency workers and even having cannabis on him.
Now, he’s set to be sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on January 27. The police are really keen on making sure anyone else who might have been affected by him comes forward. They want to build a strong case against him.
Detective Inspector Andy Drake mentioned that they think Hicks might have done this kind of thing before. So, if anyone has seen or experienced anything weird from him, they should definitely reach out to the police. They’re serious about dealing with this kind of behavior.
