An Iranian delivery driver who sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl has been ordered to attend a programme to improve his attitude to women.

Morteza Jafari, 36, told probation officers that in his home country it is generally believed that white women are promiscuous, South Western Magistrates' Court heard yesterday.

Jafari, of Bushbury Road, Wolverhampton, previously admitted sexual assault after squeezing the girl's breast while making a delivery to her place of work.

She called her boss who asked Jafari what he had done, to which he replied, "I asked her for sex. She's a sexy girl".

He later admitted everything police interviews, saying it was a "moment of craziness" and that he was sad about it.

His defence lawyer told the court: "He is a man of previous good character. He fully accepts his behaviour was unacceptable and he is very remorseful."

But the chair of magistrates Ms Powell said: "What most worries us about this offence is your attitude to that young girl and how it affected her."

Jafari, who lost his job and now relies on benefits, was given a two-year community order.

He is to meet periodically with probation officers regarding victim awareness and was ordered to sign the sex offenders register
