NORTHALLERTON MAN JAILED FOR INDECENT ASSAULT AT YORK RAILWAY STATION
A MAN who twice propositioned lone women travellers at York Railway Station while pulling his trousers tight to draw attention to his crotch was jailed for four years.
Although Andrew Dawson, 29, never actually touched his victims, aged 25 and 35, he admitted indecently assaulting them by "invading their space" and York Crown Court heard the women were now too scared to travel by train at night.
Dawson, of Vickers Croft, Northallerton, was told by Judge Paul Hoffman he considered him a danger to women and said the accused gained as much pleasure from planning his actions as he did from carrying them out.
The judge said it was true Dawson had not laid a finger on the women, but he had invaded their space and rightly confessed to indecent assault.
