A 20-year-old man who masturbated in front of a teenage boy on board a train has been jailed for a total of six and a half months.
Dean Kaboleh, 20, of Lansdowne Road, Handsworth, appeared at Birmingham Magistrates Court on Friday 1 July where he pleaded guilty to indecent exposure, and was sentenced to 26 weeks in jail.
At around 10pm on Monday 1 May, Kaboleh approached the 17-year-old victim and tried to engage him in conversation.
Kaboleh then stood in front of him, pulled his trousers down and starting to masturbate in eye line with the boy.
Following an appeal he was identified and arrested.
PC Hale, investigating officer said: “Kaboleh is a disgusting individual who preyed on the teenage boy for his own sexual gratification. He even claimed in interview that it was his twin brother who has bigger ears.
“I hope his prison sentence acts as a warning to sexual offenders – we will do everything in our power to put you behind bars.
“If you experience or witness behaviour on the rail network, I urge you to report it to us either by downloading the Railway Guardian App, texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40.”
