FEARS AFTER OFFENDER IS BAILED

It happened next to the Grand Union Canal in Acocks Green on the evening of Sunday, October 5. There was a struggle before she fled in tears.
Matthew Buffong, 43, of Leybourne Grove, Yardley, admitted sexual assault on at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Thursday, October 16. He was given conditional bail and is due to be sentenced in January.
Reacting to the bail arrangement, the mum said: "It's a bit worrying he's out on the street. To me, the safety of women is not a priority.
