| Hare Leaving Westminster Magistrates Court |
A tube train
passenger has been banned from his rush hour commute for two years
after he was caught filming female travellers' legs on his phone.
Harry Joseph Hare,
32, of Old Park View, Enfield was travelling on the busy Northern
Line towards Moorgate Station.
He pleaded guilty
when he appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court to two counts of
outraging public decency on November 3 and December 14, last year.
The court heard
the first-time offender targeted a woman whose handbag was between
her legs during the morning commute.
This resulted in
her legs being slightly open and Hare pointed his phone towards them.
He was challenged
and the one-minute clip was found on his mobile as well as a similar
clip from the previous month.
Yesterday Hare was sentenced
to a total of six months imprisonment, suspended for two years, with
the court ruling the custodial threshold had been passed due to
“sexual intrusion” of the two women.
During two years
supervision by the Probation Service he must also obey a Prohibited
Activity Requirement, namely not travel on the London Underground
between Finsbury Park and Moorgate between 8am and 9am until April
29, 2020.
He must also
participate in the Horizon Sex Offender Group Programme for 100 days
and any Probation Service-recommended Rehabilitation Activity
Requirement for up to 60 days.
Hare must also pay
the one known victim £400 compensation, a £115 victim surcharge and
£85 costs.
