A STUDENT who pleasured himself on a bus in front of a teenager has been given a community order.

Gurpreet Singh performed a sex act on himself while sitting next to an 18-year-old woman on the 51 bus after getting on at Plumstead Common.

He had his foot on the seat in front so she could not escape and then ejaculated on the bus floor near the victim’s feet before getting off at Orpington High Street.

The victim was then able to tell the driver what Singh, of Macoma Road, Plumstead, had done in front of her.

Singh got back on the bus 15 minutes later on its return route and was arrested after being recognised by the driver who called the police.

The 23-year-old was found guilty of criminal damage and exposure at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on December 23.

He must complete 120 hours of unpaid work and has been ordered to pay £50 compensation and £80 costs.
