A MAN has admitted breaking a court order by kissing and touching two strangers.

Awais Kazmi, 29, of Broomfield Avenue, Leigh, approached and touched one woman in Westcliff on June 30.

He approached and kissed another woman in Westcliff on July 4.

Kazmi admitted the offences at Southend Magistrates’ Court and will be sentenced at the court on October 25.

The Echo told last year how Kazmi was banned from approaching lone women in public for a period of five years after a court made a strict sexual harm prevention order on September 14, 2016.

He had carried out two indecent assaults on November 25, 2015, and December 16, 2015.

Essex Police later applied for the stringent order which prevented him from approaching lone women in public for a period of five years.

The ban covered any lone female not previously associated with him, including on public transport or in shops.

But Kazmi first breached the order last year just five days after it was made by walking up to a till worker in Marks and Spencer in Southend High Street.
