Carlos Auberto Loureiro, 49, of Charles Street in Portadown, appeared at Craigavon Magistrates Court after conviction for sexually assaulting a woman, indecent behaviour, and criminal damage.

The offences took place on March 26 at Ulster Bank in Portadown. Police responded to reports of an intoxicated man who had urinated on a chair, touched a woman's backside, and exposed his genitals to staff.

Loureiro was located near his home shortly after police arrived. He denied wrongdoing in interview.

Deputy District Judge John Rea reviewed a victim impact statement. The woman reported ongoing anxiety, panic attacks, and night terrors more than a year after the incident.

Loureiro's barrister Peter Coiley noted the conviction occurred in the defendant's absence. Coiley stated Loureiro maintains the acts were not deliberate and were linked to alcohol intake.

Coiley announced plans to appeal the conviction regardless of sentencing outcome.

Judge Rea described the offences as serious and noted no suitability for community disposal given the denial. He imposed four months imprisonment on each charge and required registration on the Sex Offenders Register.

Loureiro was released on bail pending appeal.
