CRAFTY GROPER, VINCENT ORENGA, CAUSED VOC ON THE

UNDERGROUND, WHEN HE INDECENTLY ASSAULTED WOMEN PASSENGERS A COURT

HEARD.

OVER A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS THE 20 YEAR-OLD DRESS PACKER
HAUNTED THE LONDON UNDERGROUND TRAILING HIS FEMALE VICTIMS BEFORE

INDECENTLY ASSAULTING THEM.

ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS HE SIDLED UP TO WOMEN ON THE

ESCALATORS, AND PUT HIS HAND UP THEIR SKIRTS, INNER LONDON CROWN
COURT WAS TOLD.

ONE WOMAN WAS SO TERRIFIED BY HER EXPERIENCE SHE REFUSED TO

TRAVEL ON THE UNDERGROUND ALONE AFTER THE ASSAULT.

WHEN ORENGA WAS ARRESTED AFTER CLAIMING HIS EIGHTH VICTIM, HE

DENIED INDECENTLY ASSAULTING THE WOMAN AND CLAIMED THE TRAIN HAD

JOLTED AND WHAT HE HAD DONE WAS ACCIDENTAL.

‘IT WAS QUITE CLEAR TO THE WOMEN INVOLVED THIS MAN WAS OF
LOW INTELLIGENCE.

‘ SAID MR REGINALD BATT PROSECUTING.

‘HE WOULD FOLLOW THEM ONTO THE PLATFORM, UP THE ESCALATORS OR

INTO TRAINS, PUTTING HIS HAND UP THEIR SKIRTS AND TOUCHING THEIR

BREASTS, MAKING IT QUITE CLEAR WHAT HE WAS ABOUT.

‘ HE ADDED
IN COURT ORENGA ADMITTED 8 CHARGES OF INDECENT ASSAULT
BETWEEN JAN 21 AND JULY 25 THIS YEAR.

HE ASKED FOR ONE SIMILAR

OFFENCE TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

SENTENCING ORENGA, JUDGE SIR DAVID HUGHES MORGAN SAID, ‘YOU ARE

A PEST TO WOMEN TRAVELLING ON THE UNDERGROUND.

IT IS QUITE

IMPOSSIBLE TO GO AROUND BEHAVING LIKE THIS TO INNOCENT FEMALES.

‘
ORENGA OF EBURY BRIDGE ROAD, VICTORIA, WAS PUT ON PROBATION
FOR THREE YEARS WITH A CONDITION OF RESIDENCE AT A PSYCHIATRIC

HOSPITAL.
