In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Sayed Hasib, 30, was sentenced to 12 months in custody for the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl in Ellesmere Port. On appearing at Chester Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 23 March 2026, the defendant—of no fixed abode—pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault. It was reported that Hasib, originally from Afghanistan, was apprehended by police shortly after the incident occurred on a public thoroughfare.
The investigation established that the assault took place in the early evening. Cheshire Constabulary reported that shortly before 6:00pm on Saturday, 21 March 2026, officers were called to South Pier Road, Ellesmere Port, following reports that a man had inappropriately touched a child over her clothing. The prosecution reported that Hasib was identified at the scene and immediately arrested. Following questioning, the investigation established the evidence necessary to charge him with the offence.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Hasib admitted to the sexual assault during his first appearance. Chester Magistrates’ Court heard that the swift police response in Ellesmere Port allowed for the immediate removal of the offender from the public. The investigation established that the victim, aged 13, was targeted in a high-traffic area, necessitating an immediate custodial sentence to reflect the seriousness of the offence against a minor.
The sentencing magistrate noted that the defendant’s actions were a violation of a young girl’s safety. For his actions in Cheshire, Hasib was handed a 12-month custodial term. The judge noted that as part of his sentence, Hasib will be subject to notification requirements, ensuring his movements are monitored by the authorities upon his eventual release from prison.
