Man, 40, admits sexually assaulting three women on the same night in Shrewsbury
A 40-year-old married father of two is being sent to crown court for sentencing after admitting three counts of sexually assaulting three women on the same night.
Andrew John Liddiment, of The Walled Garden, in Wigmore, near Leominster, admitted the charges one of which involved him dragging a woman into a Shrewsbury pub alley and putting his hand up her skirt.
Deputy District Judge James Hulse, sitting at Telford Magistrates Court on Tuesday, said that it was only the fact that the woman was wearing shorts under her skirt that stopped him touching her private parts.
The two other incidents involved Liddiment touching a woman's bottom and lifting up another woman's skirt.
The judge heard in Liddiment's defence that but for the influence of alcohol on events at the pub on December 16, 2022, that the offences "would not have occurred".
He has a clean record apart from one driving offence in 2007, the court heard.
Judge Hulse agreed that he would apply for a pre-sentence report for the crown court judge to consider.
He committed the case to be dealt with at Shrewsbury Crown Court on October 31.
Liddiment was given unconditional bail to appear at the crown court at that time.
