Sex Pest Caught Grabbing Woman at Manchester Piccadilly
Daniel Farmer, already under a sexual harm prevention order, didn’t learn his lesson. The man from Oldham Road, Newton Heath, was snapped by cops after groping a woman at Manchester Piccadilly station. He pleaded guilty and got sentenced at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court on 14 December.
Horrifying Assault on Revenue Officer
The victim, a revenue officer starting her shift, was riding the escalator to the upper mezzanine when Farmer suddenly turned around and violently grabbed her face with both hands. He tried to force a kiss on her.
Terrified and shocked, the woman screamed for help. British Transport Police officers patrolling the station arrested Farmer at the scene.
Police Urge Public to Report Sexual Harassment
“This was a shocking and frightening experience for the victim, who was just about to begin her shift when she was violently grabbed and assaulted,” said DC Khalid Rahim.
“Farmer’s grip was so tight the victim felt she was being suffocated. She has understandably been left shaken and upset by what happened.”
“Everyone has the right to feel safe on the railway, not least in their place of work.”
“We take all reports of sexual harassment and unwanted sexual behaviour seriously and will support victims throughout our investigations.”
“I would urge anyone who witnesses or experiences sexual harassment on the railway to report it to us – no report is too small or insignificant.
