Warrant Issued After Man Found Guilty of Assaulting Girl, 14 at Dorset Holiday Park

Magistrates accepted testimony that he touched the child after offering alcohol and drugs.

Overview

  • Magistrates issued an arrest warrant Monday after Thabani Maposa, 45, was found guilty in his absence of assault by beating.
  • The court heard the May 23, 2025 incident happened at Seaview Holiday Park in Weymouth, where Maposa approached a caravan of children aged 12 to 15.
  • Prosecutors said he offered whisky, cocaine and cannabis, then demonstrated supposed “signals” by touching the 14-year-old’s shoulder and waist.
  • The victim said she felt scared and did not want to be touched, a witness backed her account, and the bench said both girls were credible.
  • Maposa denied any contact in a police interview, his address was recorded as the Roundhouse Hotel in Bournemouth, and reporters noted recent, separate convictions of other residents at that accommodation.
