A barber preyed on teenage boys at his hairdressers - and sexually assaulted one of them after telling him to close his eyes so he could use hairspray on him.Hristo Georgiev convinced the youngster to shut his eyes, then touched him sexually over his clothes before the 15-year-old escaped and raised the alarm.The week before, the 26-year-old invited another customer to have sex in the bathroom of the barbers, in the village of Coedpoeth, Wales.Georgiev admitted three sexual offences against the two victims and was jailed for a total of 27 months today at Mold Crown Court, in Flintshire.North Wales Live reports the judge said: "It's so wrong that parents can't send their children to have a haircut without them being safe from sexual abuse." Prosecutor Joshua Gorst said the first customer, also aged 15, sat in the barber's chair at the shop this summer.

The defendant quickly turned the conversation into a sexual one.Georgiev ask the teenager, who cannot be named to protect his anonymity, how may people he had had sex with and whether he committed sex acts with his friends.

The teenager felt "extremely uncomfortable", the court heard.The teenager told him he was only 15. But after the haircut, Georgiev took him to a back room shop and asked: "Do you want to come in here for your first time?" The teenager later said he had "no doubt whatsoever that was a sexual proposition," said the prosecutor.

The teenager left and told his mother who reported the incident to North Wales Police.A week later another 15-year-old boy went into the barbershop.
