Joshua Jerome

Joshua Jerome, a shop assistant at the Shamanic store in Perth city centre, was caught on camera committing a sexual assault against a 62-year-old visually impaired customer. The incident involved exposing himself, groping the woman while she browsed for jewellery and ornaments, and performing a depraved act behind her as she paid at the till.

Jerome even got down on his hands and knees to take a video up her skirt, unaware that the blind woman had secretly recorded his behaviour. The assault was captured on the shop's CCTV, providing clear evidence of his actions. This case highlights the vulnerability of the victim and the brazen nature of the offence in a public retail setting.

The details emerged in a court round-up reported by The Courier, emphasising the shock of the incident in Perth. No specific sentencing details were provided in the article, but the prosecution relied on the victim's secret recording and CCTV footage to substantiate the charges of sexual assault.
