A City accountant, who a court heard drove around the Square Mile pleasuring himself while staring at young women, has been fined for his behaviour.
Panos Pallikaropoulous, 40, was reported by a pedestrian, who spotted him exposing himself while behind the wheel near Moorgate, City of London Magistrates was told.
When police arrested him they found short clips on his phone of Pallikaropoulous pleasuring himself while strolling along another City street; while a passenger on an airplane; in his car and at home.
He enjoyed positive publicity two years ago for dropping two-and-a-half stone of desk bound fat in just twenty weeks and transforming his health and appearance.
Today at Westminster Magistrates Court Pallikaropoulous, of Westside, Priory Road, Kilburn was fined £150, with £85 costs and ordered to pay a £150 victim surcharge.
He originally pleaded not guilty to two counts of exposure on December 3 and July 23, last year when he originally appeared at City of London Magistrates Court.
However, today the Crown Prosecution Service withdrew both those counts and Pallikaropoulous pleaded guilty to two charges of outraging public decency.
Prosecutor Mr. Trevor Green told the first court hearing it was 2.35pm on December 3 when a witness in London Wall spotted Pallikaropoulous’ blur Toyota.
“They saw this defendant driving with his penis exposed, which he was holding with his left hand and slowed down near two females.”
The witness filmed Pallikaropoulous and reported him to the police, who stopped him as he drove into the City at 6pm.
“The officer says the defendant was using both his hands to adjust his trousers in the crotch area,” explained Mr. Green.
Police seized two mobile phones and memory stick from Pallikaropoulous.
“There were a large number of videos of the defendant filming himself masturbating at home, in his car, in the street and while sitting in an airplane.”
