TUBE PERVERT JAILED FOR TARGETING FEMALE COMMUTERS
A "persistent pervert" who targeted lone female Tube commuters and chatted to them while fondling himself has been jailed for three months.Tsvetomir Georgiev roamed the northern part of the Piccadilly Line at night, seeking out lone women he could pleasure himself in front of.
The 25-year-old would sit opposite his victims, making a deliberate show of what he was doing while talking to them.
He struck during the day just once, seeking out a carriage at the weekend which was empty except for one woman.
Georgiev of Bendish Road, East Ham, admitted four charges of outraging public decency and was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison.
Detective Constable Allan Taggart from British Transport Police stated: "Georgiev put these women in considerable fear when he chose to target them.
I would like to thank all of them for their bravery in reporting these incidents to police.
I have no doubt that they have prevented further incidents and other women being targeted by this offender." The Transport for London’s Director of Enforcement and On-Street Operations, Siwan Hayward, said: “Nobody should be made to feel uncomfortable when travelling and the brave women who have come forward have helped to put this persistent pervert behind bars."
