"Predatory" Pervert Jailed For Preying On Female Tube Passengers

A “predatory” tube train pervert, who flouted a Sexual Harm Prevention Order when pleasuring himself in front of a female passenger, has been locked up for sixteen months.

Terence Emberson, 55, of Church Road, Hertford boarded a Victoria Line train at Tottenham Hale, stared at two woman and exposed himself to another.

British Transport Police (BTP) tracked him down to his home and arrested him for the offence, which breached an existing SHPO, prohibiting him lowering or unzipping his trousers in a public place.

The SHPO had been imposed for a similar previous offence of exposure in 2020.

At Westminster Magistrates’ Court Emberson pleaded guilty to one count of indecent exposure and breaching the SHPO.

He was committed for sentence to Inner London Crown Court, where he received sixteen months imprisonment and was also ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for ten years.

The court heard it was around 7.00pm on Wednesday, June1, when Emberson boarded the train and the victim noticed him staring in the direction of two other women on the carriage.

He then turned towards her and exposed his genitals, staring at her while he masturbated in front of her.

BTP Detective Constable Emma Martin said: “I’m pleased to see Emberson behind bars for his sickening actions which left the victim horrified.

“Sexual Harm Prevention Orders are given to protect the public, and Emberson’s blatant disregard of this proves his predatory mindset.

“No one should be subjected to this behaviour as they travel, and we are absolutely committed to stamping it out.

“I urge anyone who experiences or witnesses a sexual offence on the railway to report it to us by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40. 

“We will always take you seriously. In an emergency, always dial 999.”
