TV repairman 'grabbed' woman in her home
A repairman called out to a Sydney woman's home to fix her TV antenna allegedly walked in on her while she was in the shower and tried to grab her breast, according to court papers.
George Salloum, 42, fronted Liverpool Local Court on Tuesday charged with one count of indecent assault, which his lawyer said he intends to fight.
Court documents reveal he is a married man who allegedly "attempted to grab (the) breast" of the complainant in her Mount Pritchard home on December 30.
Police allege the incident occurred while the 36-year-old woman was in the shower.
The woman, who cannot be named, asked the repairman to leave before contacting police, and Salloum was arrested earlier this month.
A document prepared by officers on the case states that Salloum has strong ties in the community and no criminal record in NSW.
But it adds: "The charges levelled at the accused would constitute a serious offence due to the sexual nature of the allegation."
Salloum, from Merrylands in Sydney's west, has been granted bail but must comply with conditions including that he not go within 100 metres of his alleged victim's home or workplace.
The accused man made no comment as he left the court.
His case is expected to resume in March.
