A MAN from Wrexham simulated sex with a security officer while she was trying to attach his curfew tag, a court heard.

Leon Lovell was said to have grabbed the woman as she went down on all fours to attach a monitoring unit so his movements could be tracked from his aunt’s home in Bennion's Road in Hightown.

Lovell, 34, had only been released from prison hours before he carried out the alleged attack, a jury at Mold Crown Court was told.

Before she was assaulted the woman said Lovell flirted with her, signing official documents with the words “with love” and “I love you”.

He also offered her £100 to move his tag from his left ankle on to the right.

She told the court she had measured Lovell up for the tagging device, but he started to complain that it was too tight. The officer was concerned it would slip off and felt Lovell was just being awkward with her.

When she went down on the floor to fix the equipment she alleged that he jumped on her back.

She said she then endured a degrading assault that lasted around 15 seconds as he grabbed her and thrusted “with force” four or five times at her bottom.

“He came from behind and grabbed me by the waist. I remember feeling his hands on my back. I could feel his pelvic area,” recalled the woman, who Lovell alleged gave him a hug as she left his relative’s house.

But she was encouraged to make a complaint against him after ringing a supervisor in “a flood of tears”.

Lovell was arrested in Wrexham two weeks later. When the allegation was put to him he gave a 'no comment' police interview.

In court Lovell denied grabbing the officer and said he had placed his hands on her as he had been trying to get her out of his way as he wanted to get the tag fitting “over and done with”.

He said he had made “banter” with the woman as she appeared to be in a bad mood when she arrived at her house.

He recalled wanting to change the tag, saying: “I don’t like things on the left hand side of me....I said I’ll give you £100 to put it on the other side.”

The defendant’s aunt, Marian Samuels, was in the house at the time of the tagging visit.

She said she was away from the lounge only for a short time while she made coffee in the kitchen and she did not see her nephew make any contact with the officer.

Lovell, 34, of Percy Road, Wrexham denies indecent assault on August 8.
