A Libyan man following a vocational course in Malta has admitted in court to sexually assaulting two 17-year-old girls, harassing them and offending public morals.

Farhat Fethalla, 41, who lives at Ta’ Giorni, admitted to the charges but asked for sentencing to be postponed until he finishes his exams, as he will be deported once sentencing is handed down.

The assault happened near Mcast, where all three go to school, the court heard.

Magistrate Vella postponed judgment until May 5, giving Mr Fethalla enough time to sit for his exams.
