Female Passenger Targeted By Train Sex Pervert

A train passenger deliberately played with himself while recording a lone woman he deliberately sat opposite on the deserted late-night service.

British Transport Police (BTP) have launched an investigation.

Officers have released this CCTV image of their suspect and are appealing to members of the public for their assistance in identifying him.

A man boarded the train at Kent House station in south-east London at 11.15pm on Friday, October 15.

He sat directly opposite the unaccompanied female on the otherwise empty carriage.

He began to masturbate under his trousers and the woman noticed he was filming her on his mobile phone at the same time. 

He exposed himself and the victim walked away. 

The man then got off the train at Sydenham Hill station.

Officers believe the man in the CCTV image may have information which could help their investigation.

If you recognise him, or have any information, please contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting reference 51 of 16/10/21.
