A serial sex offender is back behind bars for sexually molesting a 16-year-old girl on a bus.
Scruffy and bearded Peter Brame put his hand on the horrified college student’s thigh and said he was prepared to pay good money for “business”, Bradford Crown Court heard.
Brame, 66, struck again only weeks after he was freed from a prison sentence for dropping his trousers in front of children playing in Bradford City Park’s mirror pool.
He was brought to court in custody yesterday after pleading guilty to sexual assault when he appeared at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates’ Court on April 24.
Judge David Hatton QC jailed Brame, a chronic alcoholic, for three months.
He told him: “The only possible sentence in this case is one of imprisonment.”
Prosecutor Martin Robertshaw said Brame got on the bus at Shipley at about 10am. He was drunk and left after molesting the girl but she was too frightened to get off at her stop and stayed in her seat until she arrived at Bradford Interchange.
She texted her sister with a detailed description of Brame and he was quickly identified and arrested.
Brame told officers he had been drinking since 4am that day and was ashamed of himself.
On March 8, he was jailed for four months for exposing himself to cause alarm or distress.
He claimed his trousers accidentally dropped by the mirror pool in August last year because the button had fallen off.
Brame was jailed for 28 weeks in February last year for sexually assaulting his support worker. He grabbed her breast when she visited him to help him cope in the community.
Two months before that assault, Brame was spared a jail sentence for kissing a nine-year-old girl at a bus stop. He kissed her on the face and asked her to lift up her skirt, later telling the police she was "a little cracker."
Brame had another conviction for exposing himself on a First Bus heading for Bradford city centre. A mother, with two young daughters, reported him to the police, saying "an old, scruffy, man" had committed the offence.
Judge Hatton was told that Brame was homeless and did not respond to community orders.
He had already been ordered to sign on the sex offenders’ register for life and an indefinite Sexual Offences Prevention Order was made during a previous
