A man who exposed himself while staring at a woman on a bus has been sentenced.
Bobby Garande, 27 of Melfort Road, Thornton Heath, pleaded guilty to exposure in front of women and child passengers at Croydon Crown Court.
The judge heard the defendant was travelling on a Route 50 bus from Croydon to Norbury on Wednesday May 27.
Two women boarded the bus and sat opposite him, alongside two children.
Another woman boarded the bus and sat near to Garande.
CCTV evidence showed he began to touch himself inappropriately over his trousers, before exposing himself while staring at the women.
He subsequently left the bus at Norbury Railway Station at approximately 4pm.
Garande was handed a 16-week prison sentence, which he had already served on remand, and was also given a Criminal Behaviour Order which will last until further notice.
PC Andy Morland, of the Road Traffic Policing Command, said: “This is not the first time that Garande has committed an offence like this, I am glad to see he has received a 16-week sentence.
"Exposure and other sexual acts on buses are a rare occurrence and I want to reassure members of the public that we take cases like this extremely seriously.
“As you can see from this case, the CCTV was a vital tool in helping bring him to justice. The technology available to us is very strong and we will continue to crack down on anyone who thinks that these revolting acts are acceptable on London's buses."
