A father of four who forced a woman’s hand on to his penis after she rejected him in a Bournemouth nightclub has been branded a sex offender.
Goran Suljevic, 52, of Herbert Avenue, Poole, forced the woman’s hand on to his crotch after she rejected his advances.
On April 3, Suljevic was with friends at 1812 bar in the Royal Exeter Hotel when he began talking to the woman.
She was polite to him before they went their separate ways.
Later, the 52-year-old sought her out on the dancefloor and made advances towards her.
CCTV showed the woman repeatedly tapping him on the head to make him leave her alone.
Prosecutor Lucie Taylor told the court the woman said: “You are a small man, I don’t want to dance with you,” before he sexually assaulted her.
The woman alerted bar staff, who called police and led to Suljevic’s arrest.
Suljevic told police he had only grabbed her hand.
The court also heard Suljevic had been convicted of a sexual offence in his home country in 2011.
During that incident, the 52-year-old groped a girl under 13 and filmed the attack.
He was placed on the sex offenders register after the offence.
Ms Taylor said his previous offending made the latest offence more serious.
Judge Robert Pawson said Suljevic “knew exactly what you were doing".
He added: “It was because she tried to get her to distance and she did not want to.”
The judge also made reference to Suljevic having a daughter.
“I wonder how you feel if you saw CCTV footage of a drunk man putting her hand on his penis.”
Suljevic was handed an 18-month community order and made subject to the sex offenders register for five years.
He was also fined £1,500 and ordered to complete 80 hours of unpaid work.
He was handed 10 per cent credit for his sentence after he pleaded guilty at the first instance on September 30.
Representing Suljevic, Thomas Evans said his client “got carried away” and it was a decision “made in drink”.
