Man molested two 13-year-old schoolgirls on London buses inside 60 minutes.

Andrew Godman, 34, sat next to his victims, blocking them in their window seats, before subjecting them to “appalling” prolonged sexual assaults.

Godman first struck on a busy Route 126 bus heading towards Eltham in south east London on the afternoon of Thursday November 15th last year.

A court heard that the girl’s horrific ordeal lasted for around half an hour,.

She told Godman repeatedly to stop while trying to discreetly get the attention of other passengers.

But Godman got off the bus before striking again just 30 minutes later.

He boarded a Route 273 bus in the Grove Park area of Lewisham, south east London.

Bur he was captured on CCTV groping the second victim’s thigh.

The attack lasted around five minutes before the victim got off at an earlier stop than she intended to escape him.

Both incidents were reported to police, and an investigation was launched by the Met’s Roads and Transport Policing Command.

Within days of a media appeal, police visited Godman’s address after information was received and he was arrested.

He was shown CCTV of the attacks and admitted it was him sitting on the bus with the two victims, but he denied that he had sexually assaulted them.

Godman, of Brockley, south east London, was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault following a trial at Woolwich Crown Court.

Detective Constable Darren Barlow, who led the investigation, said: “These were appalling sexual assaults in public on two young, vulnerable girls who were understandably left shaken and distressed by the attacks.

“Despite having CCTV evidence which clearly showed the assaults, Godman denied wrongdoing and suggested that the allegations were made up, making the victims relive their experiences in court.

“Thankfully, a jury saw through his denials.”

Godman is due to be sentenced at the same court next moth

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
