yeah just found it thanks to you guys, unbelievable. a university undergraduate who searched "how to make a friend" online then touched a 17-year-old girl faces jail after being convicted of sexual assault. jamie griffiths, 19, touched a would-be oxbridge student on the arm and waist as he tried to talk to her in the street. he came into contact with the victim during two attempts to engage her in conversations as she walked to and from school. the victim who was due to sit her mock exams burst into tears during the second encounter and went to police with her mother saying griffiths would have touched her breast had she not moved away from him. she later described how her school work had suffered, she was unable to sit her mock exams and said the unwanted touching had hindered her application process to oxford university. at manchester magistrates court, durham university student griffiths who lives with his parents in a 650,000 house in cheshire was convicted of two charges of sexual assault. he denied the charges claiming he was a 'shy, anxious and awkward' teenager who had clumsily approached the girl in an attempt "to make a friend but the words didn't come out."
