A manhunt is underway to find a man found guilty of masturbating in front of women on public transport in London.
British Transport Police (BTP) detectives have issued an image of Kolawole Oladetoun after he failed to appear in court for sentencing over six sexual offences, Yahoo! reports.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Oladetoun is said to have exposed himself and began masturbating in front of a woman on a train travelling through Kentish Town on October 18, 2020.
On April 14, 2021, he sat opposite a woman travelling in an empty carriage on the Victoria Line and began masturbating.
The following month, he exposed himself and masturbated in front of a woman on a train from Clapham Junction to Kew Gardens. Just two weeks later, he exposed himself to a woman on a train in Tonbridge.
He was also found guilty of masturbating in front of a woman from Hampton Court on July 1, 2021.
On August 7, 2021 he approached a woman on the stairs of Hounslow Underground station and sexually assaulted her before boarding an Eastbound Piccadilly Line train.
The victim reported this to BTP who arrested him on a train at Hammersmith less than half an hour later.
Detective Sergeant Brittany Armstrong said: “Oladetoun is a clear danger to women and girls and we are urgently trying to locate him as soon as possible so he can be returned to court for sentencing.
“We know that as well as across London, he has links to Stafford and Lincolnshire and is known to stay in temporary accommodation including hostels and Airbnb properties.
“We also believe he could have shorter hair than in the picture we are releasing today.
