A taxi driver who slapped a teenage girl’s bottom has had to sign the sex offenders register.
Peter John Mealing pleaded guilty at Prestatyn magistrates’ court to sexually assaulting the 13-year-old girl at the Royal Victoria Hotel where his wife Diane is licensee.
Prosecutor James Neary said the girl was one of two children who had gone to the pub accompanied by adults.
Mealing, who knew the girl was 13, said to another man: “Guess how old she is...you’ll never guess.”
It was also alleged that he said the girl “had a nice a***“ and then slapped her on the bottom.
Interviewed later, the girl said: “It was really creepy.”
Mealing, of First Avenue, Prestatyn, accepted that he knew the girl’s age, and added: “It was a joke which went wrong.”
He told police he had received no sexual gratification from the incident.
Roger Thomas, defending, said that Mealing had lost his job as a result and would bear the stigma of his conviction for the rest of his life.
Describing his behaviour as “totally unacceptable”, the District Judge said: "It is of concern that two youngsters are allowed on the premises at 10 o ‘clock. It is clear there were significant issues of a lack of supervision on the premises at that time.”
