So the only thing you have linking these two incidents is a paper round bag?
Or did the woman today get a good enough look at the bloke and/or his bike to say for definite that the bloke you saw and the bloke who slapped her are one & the same people?
I’m not saying don’t report todays incident, but do you have enough evidence to say for sure that both of these incidents are the same bloke?
Although it obviously depends on the situation, but I find the whole sex offenders register/8 months in jail thing potentially a little OTT. Again, obviously it depends on the circumstances….
I have tooted at girls in my car before while driving past in my younger days…..is that classed as sexual assault/harrassment?
I’ve had my ass slapped while riding into uni by a girl leaning out of a car window while all her mates egged her on & then had a good old laugh as they drove off. I was quite flattered to be honest and managed somehow find the funny side.
I also had my ass pinched by girls in nightclubs etc. on a fairly regular basis (must have been my cycling buns…ha ha).

Groping or slapping random women people on the street isn’t ALWAYS normal behaviour, and any effort to dismiss it as cheeky flirting is worrying.
Sometimes it can just be people messing around and perhaps under-estimating the gravity of what they are doing, or the persons reaction to that action.
I’m pretty sure that the girls who egged their mate on to slap my ass as I cycled into uni haven’t become a predatory group of women who prey on young, vulnerable student cyclists in the West London area….
