The ex-footballer, 48, told her he was on holiday - but in fact he lived on the controversial migrant barge moored at nearby Portland.
The girl said Konofilia commented on the colour of her skin and said he had 'never been this close to a white woman' which made her feel uncomfortable.
She began secretly recording their conversation and was heard saying 'no, no' as Konofilia tried to kiss her on the mouth before apologising.
The victim left to walk home and Konofilia tried to follow her but she managed to lose him down an alleyway.
After the sexual assault the girl called a friend crying and asked them to meet her. She reported the incident to police the next day.
The migrant, who had played for Solomon Islands national team, said he had taken the bus into the Dorset seaside town and bought beers to drink on the beach 'as he often did'.
When interviewed by police he said the girl told him she was 18 and that he wanted to help her.
He claimed he had not kissed her but had put an arm around her to comfort her and she had pulled away.
He denied kissing her or following her when she left.
Konofilia was found guilty of one count of sexual assault by magistrates in Poole.

Sentencing was adjourned for reports and he was released on bail.
He now lives at Quadrant Hall in Coventry, a former university halls that was converted to house 100 asylum seekers.
Although he speaks English, he said his first language is Pijin, a common language in the Solomon Islands.
At a previous court hearing he said he had two interviews for his asylum claim which depended on the outcome of this case.
The Solomon Islands are the seventh furthest country from the UK and there are currently no specific visas for Solomon Islanders to enter the UK to seek asylum.
Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea are the primary destinations for asylum seekers from the Solomon Islands.

The intruder was inside for 32 minutes and entered the bedroom where the woman and her partner were sleeping eight times. At one point, he flashes his torch over the pair who were in bed before focusing in on the woman. The traumatised mum was sleeping naked on her front with the majority of her body uncovered by the duvet due to the Spanish heat. read more in sickening acts INTRUDER NIGHTMARE Burglar leers over a sleeping woman's body while creeping through home A blood-curdling moment saw the sordid burglar bend over and move closer to the victim to shine the torch on her body further. Speaking to the MailOnline the woman said: "I looked at the camera and my blood ran cold. "The guy came into the room eight times. He was looking in between my legs, at my intimate parts, looking at my face. "He forgot all about the burglary. He was more interested in looking at me." The burglar eventually fled the Marbella home undetected as he swiped a purse with 300 euros inside. The rest of their valuables and expensive goods were all exactly where they left them - including in the couple's 18-year-old son's room next door. Moment hero cop saves girl, 11, from 'paedo trying to force her into flat…with perv now facing chemical castration' This has led the victim to fear that the man wasn't simply looking to burgle the home but had much more sinister plans. She said: "That man didn't come to my house to steal, he came to do something to me. "I was alone the night before. What if he'd come then?" The mum says she now faces recurring nightmares when trying to sleep with one of her major fears stemming from what may have happened if she had woke up. She woke up shortly after the thief fled to go to the toilet but believes if she crossed paths she would have screamed. "The intruder might have been carrying a knife or a pistol," she feared. The woman has now been forced to undergo psychological treatment to process the trauma. "I am still traumatised by this. Before I go to the toilet at night, I look at the cameras," she revealed. "If my boyfriend leaves the bed at night, I jump. I am now seeing a psychologist." The brave victim released the video shortly after taking it to the police as she said it was the only way to get justice and catch the "sick predator". Local police are investigating the case and analysing the footage but are yet to identify the suspect. They believe he likely entered the house through a terrace door. Marbella is already on high alert for burglaries with residents warned to bolster up their security systems as cops hunt for a thief in the area. Chilling footage shows a man in a mask and grey hoodie breaking and entering into a series of villas between San Pedro de Alcantara in Marbella and Benahavis. Dubbed the San Pedro Prowler, the man is regarded as an expert lock picker. Among the recent stolen items include 10,000 euros in cash and a 30,000 euro watch. 5 The thief stole 300 euros from the home Credit: EnBocaDeTodos18J

I had to drag my son's blue lifeless body from a swimming pool after grave holiday error
Find out the life-saving steps for giving CPR to an infant below HOLIDAY HORROR I had to drag my son's blue lifeless body from a swimming pool after grave holiday error Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FAMILY gathering took a horrifying turn when a mum had to drag her toddler's "blue" and lifeless body out of a pool when he "drowned". While her quick actions were able to save his life, she's now raising awareness about the importance of water safety.

The family were sat in the back garden while all the kids played in the pool. Emily said her son Holden had his arm bands on all day long while playing with his cousins, and she took them off once he was done playing. But the afternoon took her horrifying turn when she realised the two-year-old was no longer sat next to her - and spotted him floating at the bottom of the pool. Screaming, she pulled Holden out but he had turned "blue" and wasn't breathing - she thought he was dead. Emily's husband, Tyler Carlin, pounded on his son's back causing a "gallon" of water to come out of his mouth, before Emily's cousin started performing CPR. Miraculously after five rounds of CPR they managed to get Holden breathing again by the time the paramedics arrived. Emily, from Chesapeake, Virginia, US, said: "We had gone to celebrate the Fourth of July, we had a bunch of family around, we had travelled up for the weekend. "Everyone had floaties [inflatable arm bands and life jacket] on, everyone was playing with Barbies along the pool. "We had taken Holden out of the pool, he said he was done and he was eating some chips sitting next to me, and he asked if he could take his floaties off. My 8-week-old Brodie made a forceful cry - next thing I was giving him CPR to try and save his life "We were getting ready to give him a nap so I took his floaties off and my daughter came up to me. "She wanted to get in the pool without her floaties, she's learning to swim and I was telling her no. "When I turned around and I was talking to the people at the table, my mum and my husband both said," Where's Holden?' "I sat up and my heart sank, I knew something was wrong. I ran over to the pool and I saw him. I screamed, I've never screamed so loud. "His head was at the bottom and his feet were up. I pulled him out and he was completely blue from his stomach up. I knew at that moment he was dead. He wasn't alive. His eyes were closed, it was very scary Emily Carlin "I knew at that moment he was dead. He wasn't alive. His eyes were closed, it was very scary. "Everyone came rushing over, it happened so fast. My husband grabbed him from my arms and my aunt was calling 911. "My husband turned him over and pounded his back. It alarmed me, I didn't want to hurt him anymore. About a gallon of water came out of his mouth. "I learned later that that saved his lung because if we had started CPR then, that water could have gone into his airways. "We laid him down and my cousin Randy came over and started doing CPR, he's never done it on a child and he started doing compressions and mouth to mouth. "He did it three times and on the third time he heard a cough and some chips came out and then he went back, we lost him. "The fourth time we heard a little cry, and the fifth time he really cried. It was the sort of a baby cry, I was terrified in the moment but I knew I had my baby back. "All I could think of was I've lost my baby. He is my youngest, that would have killed me. He came back and right at that moment the paramedics arrived." 'My boy was back' Holden was rushed to Inova Fairfax Hospital via ambulance, where he was given oxygen and was drifting in and out of sleep. Emily said doctors tested Holden for brain damage and broken bones from the CPR, but found that everything was normal. Doctors reportedly told the parents that if Tyler had not made sure to get the water out of Holden's lungs, the water could have blocked his airways. A few hours later, Holden was awake and able to communicate with his parents and was discharged the next morning. Emily said: "We were in the ambulance and they put oxygen in him and monitored him, he kept going in and out of sleep, they said his body was overworked. "They had to do exams to see if he had any brain damage from the lack of oxygen, but luckily he was fine, he could squeeze your hand and follow the light. They said the CPR saved his life by far, that getting the water out was life-saving Emily Carlin "He started to talk a little bit more, he was coming back. By 8pm he was playing on the iPad, talking to us, and my boy was back. "By 11pm that night he was able to breathe on his own. We were able to go home the next morning because he was doing so well. "They said the CPR saved his life by far, that getting the water out was life-saving. "Holden said 'I went in the pool and I wanted to play but I couldn't get out' and my heart sank. I think he wanted to play with the Barbies that were in the pool." Emily is now planning for Holden to start swimming lessons and for the family to get therapy, while raising awareness about water safety. Emily said: "I'm very careful with my children at the pool and the beach, my kids have always had floaties. 6 Doctors said if if dad Tyler had not made sure to get the water out of Holden's lungs, the water could have blocked his airways Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 6 Luckily Holden didn't suffer any severe health consequences Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 6 Emily is now planning for Holden to start swimming lessons and for the family to get therapy, while raising awareness about water safety Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media "I have a lot of guilt about it. He doesn't know how to swim. It was so quiet, no one heard a splash or anything. There wasn't any music playing. "We are starting therapy, all of us need it. I'm in the process of starting swimming lessons for him. "Kids love water and don't understand the safety around it, they don't get why they wear floaties. It's very important to know CPR." Emily is now fundraising due to the "overwhelming medical bills" and ongoing care - including therapy, trauma support, and private swimming lessons. To help, you can donate here.

Builder mauled by XL Bully who ‘ripped flesh from his bones' after escaping while owner offered him cup of tea
The dog had previously been made exempt from dangerous dog legislation DOG HORROR Builder mauled by XL Bully who 'ripped flesh from his bones' after escaping while owner offered him cup of tea Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BUILDER was left seriously injured after being mauled by an XL Bully during a tea break. The dog, called Ozzy, repeatedly bit into the man's leg, leaving his flesh ripped away from the bone. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A builder in Norwich was viciously mauled by an XL Bully Credit: Getty 3 Daniel Savino, 46, pleaded guilty to being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control when it caused injury Credit: SWNS It occurred while the builder was working on a home extension in Norwich on January 21. While the owner had reportedly agreed to keep the dog inside, it escaped when the builder was asked if he wanted a drink. The savage attack left the man needing surgery, as he is unsure if his lower leg will regain feeling. In addition to the physical damage, the self-employed builder has also suffered financial damage as he has been left unable to work. Read more News FOUR STAR FIASCO Outrage as luxury hotel paid for by YOU taken over to house asylum seekers It comes after legislation in February 2024 made it illegal to own an XL Bully without an exemption certificate. An insurance policy had also been taken out on Ozzy, with a £12,000 payout. While Ozzy had been registered exempt, the attack could mean the dog is subject to a destruction order. Daniel Savino, 46, who had been looking after his partner's dog on the day of the attack, pleaded guilty to being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control when it caused injury. He will be sentenced on September 25 and could face time in prison. Savino's defence solicitor said the dog had been bought four years ago, and that the attack was "out of character". He said it was an "unfortunate slip" that it had escaped through three door gates.
