In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Sarbjit Hundal, 54, was sentenced for a sexual assault at a leisure centre while already subject to a suspended sentence for a campaign of racial harassment. On appearing at Medway Magistrates’ Court in March 2026, the defendant—of Wrothman Road, Gravesend—was found guilty of sexual assault. It was reported that Hundal targeted a woman at the Cygnet Leisure Centre in Northfleet in April 2025, touching her inner thigh and vagina over her swimwear as she attempted to leave a Jacuzzi.
The investigation established that Hundal was intoxicated and behaving in a predatory manner within the health suite. Kent Police reported that Hundal entered the hot tub and sat unnecessarily close to two women, with witnesses describing him as staggering and appearing drunk. The prosecution reported that although allegations of touching under the water could not be proved by CCTV, footage clearly showed Hundal reaching out to touch the victim as she climbed out of the water. The investigation established that the victim has since suffered from severe anxiety and has been unable to return to the pool.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Hundal was on bail for other serious offences at the time of the sexual assault. Medway Magistrates’ Court heard that Hundal had a history of volatile and abusive behaviour, having narrowly avoided jail in September 2025 for racially aggravated harassment against his neighbours. The investigation established that during that previous campaign, which lasted from December 2024 to May 2025, Hundal made rape threats against two women, punched windows, and destroyed a garden fence.
Magistrates noted that Hundal’s conduct was persistent and targeted. For his actions in Northfleet, he was handed a 26-week prison sentence, suspended for 24 months. The bench noted that Hundal also racially abused the emergency workers who arrested him during his previous harassment campaign. As part of his new sentence, he has been banned from entering any health suites, steam rooms, saunas, or Jacuzzis for two years, though he is permitted to use general gym facilities.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Hundal is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) within the Gravesham area. Due to the nature of his conduct in Northfleet and Gravesend, which involves both sexual predation and racially motivated violence, his management is a priority for the Public Protection Unit. Authorities state that his history of breaching bail and offending while under suspended sentences necessitates rigorous supervision by the probation service to ensure he complies with his exclusion zones.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register, Hundal must comply with all notification requirements regarding his residence and travel. Authorities state that his previous threats of rape and racial abuse in Kent demonstrate a high level of risk toward women and ethnic minorities. Any future attempt to enter a prohibited spa facility, engage in further harassment, or fail to disclose his location to the authorities will result in the immediate activation of his suspended prison terms and a return to the custodial system.
