He thought it was 'hilarious'
An 'out-of-control sex pest' groped a teenage girl and assaulted a woman after an England match, a court heard.
Preston Crown Court heard Wilkinson, from Blackpool, had joined friends at Central Pier to watch the Euro 2020 England vs Croatia match on June 13, 2021. After downing numerous pints of lager, Wilkinson grabbed a 16-year-old girl by the crotch and groped another woman's bottom.When questioned about the offences, he claimed he did not remember doing it, but was appalled at his loutish behaviour.
Julie Taylor, defending, said following his arrest, Wilkinson had worked with social services to try and turn his life around. However, Judge Guy Mathieson, sentencing, said: "A lot of life is about choices, good and bad. It is a good idea to go out and watch the England game with your mates and have a few beers.
"There are two victims and there is some real impact, certainly with the younger girl, as to how she now deals with people. That seems to me to make it cross the custody threshold. So that is one choice. Then, things go badly wrong in 2021/22. I'm afraid I have heard this story so many times it is like a broken record. Things get difficult in lockdown, problems occur, so you take the choice to continue to use cannabis, which you know is illegal.
