A 28-year-old man has been jailed after exposing himself on a train in Preston.
Kane Hargreaves, of Elizabeth Street, Burnley was found guilty of two counts of exposure at Preston Crown Court on Friday 28 June.
He was sentenced to nine months in prison, and must pay a £187 victim surcharge.
The court heard how, on Wednesday 10 April this year, Hargreaves was staring and exposing himself to a 21-year-old woman sat a few seats away on the 2.44pm Preston to Bradford interchange train. The woman moved away and told rail staff before reporting it to British Transport Police.
