Description
A sex offender who repeatedly exposed himself at train stations has avoided prison.
Leon Clarke, 49, from Sutton, admitted exposing his genitals intending to cause alarm or distress on seven occasions in the last year.
Two of the offences took place at Cheam Station whilst one happened at Herne Hill Station.
The other offences took place at various stations in London and Hertfordshire including Romford, Woodside Park and Croxley Green.
Clarke appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court on Tuesday, May 27, and was sentenced to a one-year community order and a 10 fine.
He was also given a five-year sexual harm prevention order which bans him from approaching, touching, or making any attempts to communicate with any unknown female in a public place.
The order also bans Clarke from sitting next to or opposite any lone female or child at a railway station or on public transport except where there are no other seats available.
Clarke has been added to the sex offenders register and will be required to register with the police until 2030.
