A 32 year old man, Peter Fabiyi, was on
Wednesday, September 30, sentenced to 3 years and nine months in prison
by Blackfriars Crown Court after he masturbated and ejaculated over a
woman while on a London Underground train. Fabiyi committed the offence
on Wednesday, July 2014.
The victim, a
woman in her 20s boarded a train towards Mitcham Junction and traveled a
few stops before she realized that Fabiyi was standing directly in
front of her with his trousers undone as the train left Elephant and
Castle station in central London, after which he performed the sex act
while they were both alone in the carriage.
According
to London 24, the woman then pushed past him and frantically fled to
another carriage, before telling another passenger what just happened.
British Transport Police then arrested Mr Fabiyi after seeing him leave
Tulse Hill station where he slid under ticket barriers to avoid paying a
fare.
Following his arrest,
interrogation and arraignment, Mr Fabiyi admitted sexual assault at an
earlier hearing last month. During his sentencing, Mr Fabiyi was also
handed a sexual harm prevention order, stopping him from approaching
women sitting alone on trains except staff or for travelling without an
Oyster card for five years.
Detective Constable Jennifer Brown, who led the investigation, said: “This was a hugely shocking and frightening incident for this woman and I commend her for having the awareness and courage to report the offence and support the prosecution. This sentence sends the clear message that sexual behaviour on trains or at stations is completely unacceptable and British Transport Police will use every method at our disposal to identify people responsible and bring you before the courts.”
After
committing the offence, Mr Fabiyi had tried to avoid police by slipping
under the ticket barriers Tulse Hill and dodging detection via his
Oyster card before boarding a bus outside the station. However, he was
arrested shortly after at his home address on Ezmouth Road in
Walthamstow.
