A randy hotel manager who grabbed a French maid’s

A randy hotel manager who grabbed a French maid’s crotch during a job interview has been warned he faces jail.

Mohamed Sayed, 44, shocked the pretty 23-year-old brunette when he suddenly groped her private parts.

Sayed had agreed to interview the woman, already working as a part-time chambermaid, after she visited the hotel the previous day.

In a basement room, Egyptian-born Sayed suddenly started kissing the woman woman after asking her if she had any Arabic ancestry.

He then thrust his hand down the top of her trousers, sending a button flying.

Sayed then put his hand inside her knickers, and he tried to penetrate her vagina with his fingers.

He also fondled the woman’s breasts during the attack.

But the brave maid, a recent arrival from France, punched him in the stomach and fled the Windsor Hotel in Earls Court.

Giving evidence at Blackfriars Crown Court, the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told jurors:

‘He held me by the forearm and tried to touch my breast.

‘

‘He slipped his hand inside my trousers, inside my knickers and touched my vagina.

‘

Sobbing as she gave evidence through a translator she said: ‘I tried to say stop but maybe the words weren’t coming out of my mouth – I had a lump in my
throat.

‘

She then punched the sex pest in the stomach and fled the hotel, and ran into the arms of her boyfriend who was standing outside.

After the alleged incident at the hotel in Penywern Road, Earls Court, the woman immediately called the police who arrested Sayed.

Grilled by detectives, Sayed, the hotel’s duty manager, accepted he had interviewed a number of women for jobs at the hotel.

But he said nothing untoward had happened with any of them.

Sayed, who said he was in charge of 57 staff, claimed ‘he did not know why the woman was making these allegations against him.

‘

He went on: ‘I have worked in the hotel for the last five years and I’ve never heard such a ridiculous story.

‘I know how to conduct myself in interviews.

I’ve interviewed a lot of young people.

‘

Judge David Martineau granted Sayed bail but only after a pnds stlg 20,000 surety was taken.

The judge warned Sayed he faces jail as he adjourned sentence until 18 April for reports to be prepared.

Sayed’s girlfriend burst into tears on hearing the jury’s verdict.

Sayed, of (237) Hermit Road, Canning Town, east London was found guilty by the jury of indecent assault on 27 July last year.
