A grandmother bus driver was sexually assaulted by two drunk men while she tried to merge onto a busy Queensland highway.
The 52-year-old woman was driving a Helensvale tavern courtesy bus when James Bozzoli, 25, and Sean McIvor, 25, ‘pinned’ her to the seat while they drunkenly sexually assaulted her, Gold Coast Bulletin reported.
The two men admitted they touched the woman’s breasts, crotch and bottom while she was driving them home from the Saltwater Creek Hotel on Australia Day this year, a Southport Magistrates Court heard.

The men continued to sexually assault the woman until she forced them out of the bus when she pulled over at a pizza shop.
Crown prosecutor Kathleen Christopherson said the violation of the woman was ‘highly sexually charged’, the publication reported.
‘She was a very soft target and they put her safety at risk,’ she said.
‘She was trapped, in a vulnerable situation, driving a vehicle at high speeds and not able to push them away.’
The two men were sentenced to six months jail with a suspended sentence for two years and made to pay $1,000 each in compensation to the 52-year-old victim.
