GLASGOW TRAIN ATTACKER SENTENCED FOR PUBLIC INDECENCY
Derek Sweeney, 41, has been found guilty of public indecency for his creepy act in March this year.
While on a train between Hyndland and Dalmuir, the Clydebank man exposed himself to the 22-year-old, who later reported the incident to the police.
He was last week convicted at Dumbarton Sheriff Court and will complete 140 hours of unpaid work.
Sweeney, of Radnor Street, was also given an 18-month Community Payback Order.
British Transport Police detective constable Steph Crawford said: “Sexual offences will absolutely not be tolerated on the rail network.
Everyone has the right to travel and feel safe.
We will always take reports of sexual offences seriously, and in this case were able to quickly arrest the suspect at the scene and bring him before the courts.”
