A Cambridgeshire woman tried to force oral sex on a complete stranger after he refused to give her five pounds for a bus far.

Michelle Hall, 54, turned up at the victim’s home in Huntingdon unannounced at 11.25pm on October 16.

As he answered the door, Hall asked if he would give her five pounds for a bus into Peterborough city centre.

The victim refused but Hall pushed past him and into his home. Once inside, Hall turned and offered to perform oral sex on the victim in exchange for the bus fare.

After the victim refused again, Hall started groping him. She then tried to pull his trousers down, despite him repeatedly asking her to stop.

The victim called police as Hall fled into the town centre. He gave a description and she was later identified via CCTV images and arrested.

In custody, Hall admitted the offence, saying: “you don’t have to take swabs, I’m guilty.”

On Monday (January 27) at Peterborough Crown Court, Hall, of High Street, Huntingdon, was jailed for 20 months and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years.

PC Jess Porter said: “This has been a harrowing experience for the victim, who was forced to endure an unexpected ordeal in his own home.

“I would like to applaud the victim for having the courage to report this offence to police. Sexual offences can happen to anyone and we will always take allegations seriously.”
