A man told two 14-year-old girls eating pizza in a town centre that he “wanted to have a baby with them” and tried to kiss them, a court heard.
Hadush Kebatu, from Ethiopia, allegedly propositioned the teenagers “without any encouragement” after accepting an offer of food from them in Epping, Essex, on 7 July.
Allegations of the incident led to a wave of anti-immigration protests and counter-demonstrations outside The Bell Hotel, where Mr Kebatu is staying as an asylum seeker.
