A SEX pest who handed out strange notes to women he met on the street has been banned from approaching females in the same way for three years.

Paul Hetyey admitted inviting women to make a “private arrangement” with him and also wishing them an “enchanting day”.

Also included in the creepy messages was Hetyey’s telephone number and his warped requests for no-strings attached sex in return for cash.

Teesside Magistrates’ Court heard Hetyey wrote in the the notes he wasn’t looking for a long-term relationship like a regular alpha or beta male, instead saying "I’m looking for a submissive female".

District Judge Helen Cousins heard statements from his victims who were all left frightened and disturbed by the content of the folded notes.

One of his targets was a 17-year-old who has been left traumatised by the ordeal.

In victim impact statements from Hetyey’s targets, who came forward following a police appeal, all spoke of how scared they were after he approached them – with one fearing that he would follow her to her car.

Hetyey’s solicitor, Paul Dixon, told the court that the defendant had been inspired to use the unusual method of approach after watching YouTube videos.

He added: “He has done something completely stupid without thinking about the consequences for the other people involved.

“He was spoken to by the police in early October and there have been no further incidents since.”

Fining Hetyey £85 for each of the four charges, and ordering him to pay £85 court costs and a £30 victim surcharge, the judge said she hoped he understood his behaviour was "unacceptable".

The defendant was given a criminal behaviour order banning him from passing notes, letters or invitations to women in public for three years.

The self-employed 51-year-old, of Parliament Road, Middlesbrough, committed the offences on September 19, 28 and 30 and October 5 this year.
