A TEEN thug on bail over a vicious street assault has been cut loose again, despite sexually assaulting two women in Melbourne’s CBD.

Luka Luka, 18, was released on bail after he beat a young man for his phone in September. He was ordered to be on his best behaviour, but police are investigating him over a series of other crimes.

And on Sunday, he terrorised two women within 30 minutes by grabbing their vaginas “forcefully” as he passed them in the city.

One was an on-duty bus driver ushering passengers on to her bus at Flinders St about 10.50pm. The other was crossing the intersection at Flinders and Swanston streets about half an hour earlier when he put his hand up her dress.

The victims were so terrified they reported it to police immediately.

Police swooped on the drunken Hampton Park youth and arrested him on the bus soon after. He was found carrying cannabis and had to be given time to sober up before being questioned.

But two days later, when facing Melbourne magistrate David Starvaggi, Luka admitted his vile offending and was freed without conviction on a two-year community correction order.

Mr Starvaggi noted Luka’s young age, the fact he was about to start year 12, and had pleaded guilty to the sexual assaults at the earliest opportunity as reasons for his sentence.

Before telling Luka he was free to leave, Mr Starvaggi warned him: “These two ladies were free to go about their business without being sexually harassed by you. If you do this sort of thing there’s only one place you are going to end up and that’s jail.”

Police had told Mr Starvaggi, who has only been a magistrate since July, that Luka had two other pending matters before the court.

He is accused of punching a young man multiple times to the back of the head in September, causing injury, after making demands for the victim’s phone.

He is also expected to face Ringwood Magistrates’ Court next week on a charge of drink-driving.

Police added Luka was being investigated for his involvement in a fight in June last year where he and four others allegedly ganged up on three victims, saying they had a gun. When the victims ran away, they were chased and beaten with a stick, and a wallet was stolen.

Mr Starvaggi ordered Luka complete just 20 hours of unpaid community work, as well as the sex offenders’ program, and drug and alcohol treatment.

My name is Luka Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I've grabbed your vagina before
If you feel something late at night
Some kind of finger, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

Yes Nail,
you'd get more of sentence for a minor speeding ticket - a few ks over.

I wonder if that darkie was the one who did this slashing ....

Who knows?
The fact is that Daniel Andrews has a weak justice system that
puts dangerous criminals back on streets -
maybe a street near you or me.

Dan has to act fast or he'll lose the next election in November.

Indeed.

Despite the fact that white people commit the vast majority of crimes in Australia, the white supremacists here still run for cover whenever they see someone with so much as a dark tan.

What a horrible way to live.
