A man has been jailed for nine months after exposing his genitals on a District Line platform in east London.
Dan Pirvu, 26, of Ripple Road in Barking, was seen showing his bottom and genitals on the platform at West Ham underground station shortly after 9pm on November 17 2023.
He was sentenced on August 14 at Inner London Crown Court after he was found guilty by a jury of one count of exposure.
He will also have a 10 year signature on the Sex Offenders Register and has been given a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order banning him from using the Tube or entering a London Underground station.The court heard how, on the day of the incident a member of the public approached a member of Transport for London (TfL) staff and reported a man – now known to be Pirvu - exposing his genitals.
It was flagged to the CCTV control room, who could immediately see Pirvu on the platform with his trousers exposing both his bottom and genitals.
Pirvu was also witnessed by the TfL staff member with his trousers around his knees, exposing himself, and causing members of the public to move away.
Pirvu was reported immediately to British Transport Police, who attended the station and arrested Pirvu at 9.13pm.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Michael Taylor, said: “There is no place for this kind of behaviour on the rail network and we will work quickly to apprehend these kinds of offenders.
"I hope this sentence, along with the Sexual Harm Prevention Order will give him time allow him to reconsider his actions and prevent him from offending again in the future."
