Face of Derbyshire man who exposed himself to woman at railway station
A 37-year-old Derbyshire man has been sentenced after he exposed himself to a lone woman at a station waiting room. Kristian Harrison, of Kirkstone Road, Newbold, pleaded guilty to indecent exposure and was jailed for 16 weeks at Derby Crown Court.[1] He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register for seven years and made the subject of a five year sexual harm prevention order.
The court heard that on Friday, January 20 this year, Harrison approached a woman waiting alone at Sheffield station while touching his groin and unzipping his trousers. The woman quickly left the waiting room and headed to the platform. When she glanced back at the waiting room, Harrison was standing facing her and exposing himself.

Harrison’s audacity and his blatant disregard for the victim have earned him a stint behind bars.
“We will always take reports seriously and we will not tolerate this type of behaviour on the railway.
I urge anyone who is a victim of, or witness to, a sexual offence on the railway to report it to BTP by texting 61016 or via the Railway Guardian App.
In an emergency, always call 999.”
