The manager of a Suffolk burger restaurant accused of sexually assaulting two girls allegedly touched one of them on the bottom, a court has heard.

Giving evidence at Ipswich Crown Court the alleged victim, who was 15 at the time of the alleged incident, claimed that Ismail Hasan, who was the manager and chef at Jenny’s Burger Restaurant in Haverhill, ran his hand across her bottom while she was at the restaurant.

She told the court that she had been “a little bit shocked” by the incident but hadn't said anything to Hasan at the time.

Hasan, 45, of Murton Slade, Haverhill, has denied sexually assaulting the girl as well as three offences of sexually assaulting another girl.

The offences are alleged to have taken place in 2020.

Richard Potts, prosecuting, claimed that Hasan told the other alleged victim that she was beautiful and sexy and that he wanted to sleep with her.

He claimed that Hasan had put his hands between her legs and pressed his groin against her bottom.

Mr Potts said the girl had felt uncomfortable with the way Hasan was allegedly behaving towards her and had recorded him saying he loved her and wanted to be with her on her mobile phone.

Hasan has denied behaving inappropriately with the two alleged victims.

The trial continues.
