Manchester sex scandal: 19-year-old caught cuddling with minor girl in movie theater ordered to sign Sex Offender Register
On February 24 this year, a 14-year-old youngster, who cannot be named for legal reasons, sat beside 19-year-old Callum Chant at a movie theatre. The pair were seen to close in on each other during the film as if they were about to kiss. They were spotted by the girl's mother and stepfather who turned up unexpectedly to check on them. Chant allegedly touched the girl's leg and bottom over her clothing before they were caught by the girl's family.
A court heard that Chant and the girl "sat next to each other and their heads moving close to each other", according to a CCTV footage obtained from the cinema in Bury by the girl's mother. According to Chant, of Bury, Greater Manchester, the pair had agreed to go with friends to watch the film, but the group they were with left them alone together.
