Friday, September 18, 2026 - The Manchester Magistrate Court on Monday, September 14, sentenced Nigerian man and registered s#x offender, Babatunde Odutola, to 10 months in jail after exposing himself and mast#rbating in front of a woman on a train travelling towards Manchester.
Odutola, 36, of no fixed address, was arrested around 7pm on
Friday, September 11, after harrassing the woman while on a train travelling
through Cheshire towards Manchester Piccadilly railway station.
British Transport Police said Odutola approached the woman
on the train, looked her up and down and became aggressive when she refused to
engage with him. The police said he then exposed himself while sitting in a
wheelchair and began m@sturbating while staring at the woman and telling her to
“come over”.
A fellow passenger intervened and escorted the distressed
woman from the carriage.
The police said that CCTV footage showed Odutola continued
m@sturbating as other passengers walked through the carriage.
British Transport Police officers arrested him after the
train arrived at Manchester Piccadilly.
He was subsequently prosecuted and jailed within 72 hours of
the incident.
Detective Constable Leonidas Christoforou of British
Transport Police said Odutola’s behaviour had been “terrifying” for the victim,
whom he allegedly singled out while she was travelling alone.
“He’s shown
little remorse for his actions and denied the allegations against him during
his police interview,” Christoforou said.
However, he said CCTV footage and witness accounts provided
evidence against Odutola, who eventually pleaded guilty in court.
