THIS is the moment an Epping hotel migrant sobbed as he was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
Hadush Kebatu is accused of putting his hand on the teen’s thigh and trying to kiss her while he was living at the controversial Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex.
The site has since been shut down after a bombshell High Court ruling ordered it to close.
Kebatu, from Ethiopia, made advances towards the young girl on a bench in Epping but ran away when he was confronted by an older woman, it is said.
He is then accused of trying to sexually assault her by also putting his hand on her thigh.
Footage played to the Colchester Magistrates Court shows the moment he was arrested after she called Police.
Kebatu can be seen weeping as he taken from the back of a police car and handcuffed.
During his evidence, he denied trying to kiss the girl and claimed: “I’m not a wild animal”.
Speaking through a Tigrinya interpreter, he added: “I can’t do these kind of things. These are children, new generation.”
Kebatu said the woman who also accused him of sexual assault told him, “You are handsome, I want you to come to my home”.
