Teen Arrested For Playing With Himself In Packed Courtroom

Police arrested a teenager after two lawyers halted court proceedings to tell a judge a waiting defendant was masturbating a few feet from them.

Parvinder Aullakh, 19, of Weald Way, Hayes, Middlesex was seated in the well of the packed courtroom as another case progressed when he was pointed out.

"There is an issue. He's got his bits out," solicitor Wahida Aktar told District Judge Kenneth Grant at Hammersmith Magistrates Court, pointing to her left and leaning away in repulsion.

Another lawyer, sitting next to her, told the judge: "He had his erect penis out and was masturbating."

Aullakh was appearing on a common assault charge, but Mr. Grant ordered him to leave and a plain-clothed police officer, who was sitting behind the defendant and unaware of what he was doing, detained him outside.

Uniformed officers were called and Aullakh was taken away in custody.
