The one mentioned in the Telegraph was arrested but got to keep his licence because he hadn't actually been convicted, then according to the report in the paper he committed a second offence a few weeks later.

The boss of the firm he works for was unavailable for comment. The police have said the felt his licence should have been suspended.

A spokesman for HBC said "You can be assured that we take our responsibility to protect the travelling public very seriously and that we would not hesitate to act decisively and suspend or remove a licence whenever this is necessary. I would emphasise that we always work very closely with the police in all cases of this sort to determine the most effective timing of any action."

Tell that to the second woman he assaulted.
