An Asylum seeker has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman and a 14-year-old girl in Epping in incidents which sparked protests across the country outside migrant hotels.
The incidents involving Ethiopian national Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu sparked anti-migrant protests and counter-protests outside the Bell Hotel in the Essex town where he had been staying.
Demonstrations have spread to outside other hotels housing asylum seekers in other parts of England.
His three-day trial heard he had told two teenagers he wanted to "have a baby with each of them" and attempted to kiss them, before going on to put his hand on one of the girls' thighs and stroke her hair.
The defendant was also found to have sexually assaulted a woman by trying to kiss her, putting his hand on her leg and telling her she was pretty.
District judge Christopher Williams took just 30 minutes to return his guilty verdicts and his reasoning at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
Kebatu, who was a "teacher of sports" in his home country, denied all charges against him - telling the court he is "not a wild animal".
The defendant gave no visible reaction as Mr Williams told him he was guilty of two counts of sexual assault, one count of attempted sexual assault, one count of inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity, and one count of harassment without violence.
Kebatu is due to be sentenced at the same court on September 23.
The judge told the defendant he should expect an "immediate custodial sentence" after concluding he gave no comment to police as he "simply had no answer at the time, or one that would stand up to scrutiny".
Kebatu's trial was told he was offered pizza by the 14-year-old victim shortly before he tried to kiss her on July 7.
The court heard Kebatu had made inappropriate comments to the girl, such as "come back to Africa, you would be a good wife", and "do you want to come to the Bell Hotel to have babies then we could go to Kenya with each other".
The girl told police she "froze" as the defendant sexually assaulted her and had told Kebatu "no, I'm 14" when he spotted her again in Epping the following day.
The court heard his response to the teenager was: "No, no, it doesn't matter, you could come back to the Bell Hotel with me".
An adult member of the public was also sexually assaulted by Kebatu on July 8 during an incident in which he touched her leg and tried to kiss her when she offered to help him with his CV.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said she felt "shocked" and "uncomfortable" at his behaviour.
The adult victim told the court she confronted Kebatu when she saw him speaking to a "young schoolgirl".
She said the defendant ran away from the initial confrontation, but she caught up with him near the Bell Hotel while on a 999 call with police.
The woman told the trial: "It was a lot of begging, pleading and apologising, and a lot of 'I'm sorry, I'm going to go, it was a mistake' - along those lines."
Footage of Kebatu's arrest showed him appear to become tearful after he was handcuffed by an officer, with the defendant eventually getting on his knees on the pavement next to a police car.
Reacting to the guilty verdicts, Essex Police Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Hooper said: "We're acutely aware that this incident has attracted widespread public interest.
"We have always said that we treat and investigate every report made to us without fear or favour."
Mr Hooper added: "We understand the strength of feeling in our community, but no crime should become an excuse for the disorder we have seen at times in Epping."
The Home Office said it would not be drawn into commenting on the case.
