Bus Sex Pest Sentenced After Police Appeal

A bus pervert, whose CCTV image was circulated by police after he molested a woman on the top deck, has been sentenced.

Adedoyin Adebiyi, 56, was caught on camera travelling onboard the Croydon-bound double-decker and was arrested and charged soon after the police went public.

He fought a charge of sexually assaulting the female passenger on the 468 bus on August 31, last year, but was convicted.

Adebiyi, of Lansdown House, Crawford Estate, Denmark Road, Camberwell appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court.

The victim reported being molested by another passenger as she travelled on the service at 10.15am.

Police released this image of Adebiyi in October, last year and the appeal was widely published.

He was placed on a twelve-month community order, which includes 240 hours community service work.

The court also told Adebiyi he must sign the sex offenders register for the next five years.

He was also ordered to pay £250 compensation to the victim, £300 costs, plus a £95 victim surcharge.
