A SERIAL pervert told a court he was Elvis Presley after singing loudly on his way up from the cells and refusing to stand for the judge today.

Peter Brame, 67, is behind bars for repeatedly breaching an indefinite Sexual Offences Prevention Order imposed for a catalogue of groping and exposure convictions in Bradford.

Brame, a homeless alcoholic, forgot to register at Trafalgar House Police Station after buying alcohol with a big lump sum of pension payments, suspended while he was in prison and handed out on his release, his lawyer Claire Moran said.

The court heard he was freed from Leeds Prison on August 8 and did not register the following week.

He was arrested on August 21 and had been in custody since.

Scruffy, bearded, Brame, who wore an oversize pink jumper for the hearing, led a chaotic and alcohol-dependant lifestyle, Miss Moran said.

The probation service did not feel able to work with him but he could be housed in a hostel in Leeds Road, Bradford, after two charities had visited him in prison.

Judge David Hatton QC adjourned the case until October 10 so that enquiries could be made to see if Brame can be found a home.

A delighted Brame shouted from the dock: "You're not a judge: you're an angel straight from heaven," before he was escorted back to the cells.

In May last year, Brame was jailed for three months for sexually molesting a 16-year-old girl on a bus in Shipley.

Drunken Brame put his hand on the horrified college student's thigh and said he was prepared to pay good money for "business".

The offence was committed just weeks after he was freed from a prison sentence for dropping his trousers in front of children playing in Bradford City Park's mirror pool. He was jailed for four months for exposing himself to cause alarm or distress, claiming his trousers accidentally fell down because the button was missing.

In 2012, Brame was jailed for 28 weeks for sexually assaulting his support worker, groping her when she visited him to help him cope in the community.

Two months earlier, he was spared a jail sentence for kissing a nine-year-old girl at a bus stop and asking her to lift up her skirt, telling the police she was "a little cracker".
