The Darke Slide: OnlyFans Performer Plunges The Depths

A sick OnlyFans 'performer' whose customers paid to watch him pleasure himself and urinate while using the Underground has been jailed.

Nikki Darke, 37, - aka 'Public P***er' – recorded himself committing the vile acts while travelling on London tube trains.

He uploaded the content to twitter and the subscription OnlyFans website.

When British Transport Police (BTP) caught up with Darke, of Earlham Grove, Forest Gate they also found him in possession of sexualised images of children.

At Inner London Crown Court he received sixteen months imprisonment for one count of outraging public decency; four counts of criminal damage and three counts of making indecent images of children.

Darke was also made subject to a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, prohibiting him taking photos or videos in any public place.

The court heard Darke committed multiple indecent acts.

These included urinating on the seats and masturbating in front of other passengers while travelling on the Piccadilly Line between February and July. 

He was arrested and taken to custody on Saturday, September 4 after plain clothes officers on patrol spotted him travelling on the Tube. 

Upon arresting Darke, officers seized his phone and discovered he was also using his online platforms to obtain indecent images of children.

When asked in interview about the content he was sharing online, he explained: “It’s me doing really stupid things in public places.”

Darke explained he was publishing the videos and taking requests from online users to earn money, claiming: “The people that pay, that’s what they want to see.”

Detective Constable Christopher Pretty, said: “This was a foul and frankly absurd case and I’m pleased to see such a vile offender taken off the network.

“It’s clear Darke’s actions were for his own selfish amusement and gratification, yet a number of passengers were subjected to witnessing his odious behaviour.

“As a result of our extensive enquiries, we not only reprimanded Darke for the damage he caused to railway property and the indecent acts he was committing, but also for the utterly indefensible indecent images he gathered.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that if they ever witness such behaviour while travelling they can text us discreetly on 61016.”

Jail For Double Driveway Thief

A night-time thief, who stole from two cars parked in the same west London driveway, is starting a ten-week prison sentence.

Homeless Stephen Keane, 30, struck at 4.48am on November 26 in The Drive, Isleworth, emptying the contents of the two vehicles.

Police recognised him via CCTV and the audacious crook was even wearing the expensive casual jacket he nicked when officers caught up with him.

At Uxbridge Magistrates Court he was jailed and ordered to pay £300 compensation to the victims.

He pleaded guilty to stealing a silver lock knife; two pairs of Aviator Rayban sunglasses, plus cases; a Superdry jacket; driving spectacles; £4.00 in loose change; a yellow rubber figure and four bags for life. 

The total value was £600. 

Hounslow Central Neighbourhood Policing Team recognised Keane via CCTV. 

Seven days later Keane was arrested on Hounslow High Street, wearing the victims' Superdry jacket, which was seized and returned to the owner.

PC Dan Cheeseman, the Dedicated Ward Officer for Hounslow Central said: “This type of crime has a serious impact on residents when finding someone has entered their vehicle. 

Predominately theft from motor vehicle occurs overnight and residents come to find that someone has entered their vehicle without permission and carried out an untidy search and stolen property. 

If there is CCTV footage, officers will always try and identify the individual responsible if there is a clear image of the suspect and will consider forensic opportunities when available.”

Jail For Sneaky Bag Thief

A heartless bag thief, who targeted unsuspecting victims for their valuables, is starting a twelve-month prison sentence after being caught by plain clothes police.

Samir Agoun, 32, actively stole bags in City of London pubs and other licensed premises, hoarding the loot at his home in Marquis Road, Haringey.

On October 22 police spotted Agoun acting suspiciously in Brune Street, Whitechapel – paying particular attention to anybody with a bag.

He was later seen nearby in Widegate Street, carrying a backpack, which he tried to discard.

Officers retrieved the bag and when they searched Agoun, they also found a bank card in someone else’s name. 

In a search of his home, six stolen mobile phones, two false identification documents and a stolen passport were found.

As a result, police successfully linked him to a number of thefts of bags from licensed premises across the Square Mile.

Inspector Alexander Wisbey, from the Proactive Crime Team at the City of London Police, said: “This result follows a tireless effort to prove Agoun’s link to a number of crimes.

“His actions had a significant impact on the people who had their possessions and private information stolen. 

“We are pleased that he is no longer able to cause harm to others.

“Our officers are here to protect people from criminals like Agoun. 

“We are working closely with licensed premises across the City, providing training and advice to help prevent opportunistic crimes like bag and phone snatches, but we can’t do this alone. 

“If you see something that doesn’t look right, trust your instincts and let us know by calling 101. In an emergency always call 999.”

Agoun was sentenced to 12 months in prison for theft and possession of false documents, after pleading guilty to five charges at the City of Westminster Magistrates Court.

Explosives Enthusiast Caught With Dangerous Chemicals

A bungling explosives enthusiast, who burned himself when experimenting with a cocktail of dangerous chemicals, has been convicted off possessing the materials.

Police first became aware of Michael Pym-Nixson, 54, after paramedics were called to his home to treat him for burn injuries. 

Because of the suspicious circumstances, police launched an investigation, led by the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command. 

No terrorism connection was subsequently found. 

There was no evidence which indicated that Pym-Nixson was creating explosive material for any malign purpose, or had any intention to make an improvised explosive device (IED).

On the evening of Friday, March 19, paramedics were called to Pym-Nixson’s address in St. George's Road, Kingston-Upon-Thames.

He needed treatment for burns to his left hand, which he said were caused by a firework accidentally igniting.

The following day, officers visited the flat to check on Pym-Nixson’s welfare and he spoke to the officers, but did not let them into his house. 

On the morning of Sunday, March 21, officers returned to the flat to conduct a search of the property and arrest Pym-Nixson.

Specialist officers from the Met's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit remained at the scene throughout the week-long search. 

They found large quantities of chemicals used to make explosive material in his house and shed.

On the day Pym-Nixson injured himself, he caused three small explosions by mixing these substances.

After making local enquiries, people in neighbouring properties subsequently told police they had heard loud bangs. 

These weren’t reported to police.

Officers also discovered hand-written notes detailing the quantities of the substances needed to make explosives and how-to videos online that Pym-Nixson had saved. 

Pym-Nixson initially pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing explosive substances. 

He will be sentenced on December 10.

Albanian Cocaine Dealers Jailed For "Wicked Trade"

Two drug dealers are starting prison sentences after a police operation targeting the Albanian cocaine trade.

Viktor Kurtaj, 32, (pic.l.) and Illaijan Dautaj, 24, (pic.r.) were caught during three simultaneous police raids, the culmination of the seven-month Operation Aureum.

At Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court both received six years and nine months imprisonment.

Kurtaj, of East Street, Epsom and Dautaj, of Shrewsbury Close, Surbiton were investigated by the Proactive Crime Teams on the South West BCU, with the assistance of the Violence Suppression Unit, plus neighbourhood officers.

Both pleaded guilty to two counts of possession, with intent to supply, Class A drugs; one count of possession, with intent to supply, class B drugs and one count of possessing criminal property.

A large quantity of drugs were found during the raids, executed at three addresses in Surbiton on April 28. 

Within the addresses officers found a large amount of cash, cooking cocaine, scales and large bricks of cocaine in laundry baskets and kitchen cupboards. In total around 3.5 kilograms of cocaine was found. 

An amount of cannabis was also found, plus around £80,000 in cash.

The court agreed that both Kurtaj and Dautaj played a significant role in a commercial scale drug trafficking enterprise. 

Judge Marcus Tregilgas-Davey told them: “There is no question that Class A drug supply causes significant harm. 

“It destroys lives and rips families apart. You two were up to your necks in that wicked trade.”

Jailed: Crash Driver Who Posed As Twin

Jailed: Carmen Joseph
An uninsured L-driver, who crashed her car, has been jailed for posing as her twin sister to police.

Businesswoman Carmen Joseph, 33, gave the name of her twin Cleo when officers arrived at the scene of the crash.


However, she did not know her sister had been banned from the roads and was arrested for driving while disqualified.


Joseph, of Hawke Tower, Milton Court Estate, New Cross collapsed in the dock at Woolwich Crown Court on hearing she was sentenced to twenty-eight days imprisonment.


She pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice in Amersham Grove, New Cross on January 13 by using her twin sister’s identity to avoid prosecution.


The court heard Joseph maintained the lie even when she was charged and bailed to appear in court, but failed to appear and a warrant was issued in her sister’s name.


Prosecutor Sean Clark told the court: “Police attended their address with the warrant to arrest the sister and if this defendant was not there she would have been arrested.


“This defendant came clean when the police were there.”


The court heard Joseph crashed into a parked car on January 13 and the owner came out of their home and called the police.


“You were driving on a provisional licence and you gave your identical twin sister’s details,” Sally Hales QC told her. “You were arrested at the scene because, unknown to you, your twin was disqualified from driving.


“You were taken to a police station and throughout the booking and charging procedure you maintained the deceit that you were your twin sister Cleo.


“You did not attend court and a warrant was issued for the arrest of your sister and when the police turned up on February 18 you acknowledged you were the person who did not appear and said it was because of covid.


“Covid was also used as an excuse as to why you gave false details at the scene of your crash.


“You put your sister in jeopardy of being arrested and put in custody.”


Joseph and her graduate sister run a beauty business and employ their mother.

Twin Trouble: Carmen (L) & Cleo (R) 


“She did end up spending a night in the cells and was fined and received six points on her licence,” said Leon Lynch, defending. “Prior to this she was a woman of good character.


“She is under no illusions that she is going to prison today and that she made a terrible error of judgement, almost causing her sister to be arrested and hindering the police investigation.


“After crashing the car she gave the wrong details while in a panic and her sister could have been arrested and remanded in custody.


“The consequences of what she did were very serious.”


Judge Hales added: “You have made a success of your life and you are an intelligent individual so it is all the more extraordinary you should lie in the way you did.


“The probation report says you made a bad decision through panic and are a low risk of ever being convicted again.


“However, this is an offence that is so serious only a custodial sentence is appropriate.”
