I read with disbelief this story today, it's too Brass Eye even for me:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/s...st/7095134.stm
This man was simulating sex with a bicycle in a private, locked room - and is now on the sex offenders register!?!
This is sexually aggravated breach of the peace? Am I missing something here?
I know the story is quite funny, but the outcome is very serious. How can this ruling be justified?

Anyone who needs a shag that badly is definately dangerous!I know the story is quite funny, but the outcome is very serious. How can this ruling be justified?
This is very strange indeed, almost surreal. I have visions of bicycles mousing through the internet and screaming when they find he lives so close.
Who exactly is he a danger to?

How can you say that a scumbag like this has any "rights"? He's a sick paedopervscum, and I for one slam him.
I wouldn't expect you to understand, since you neither have children nor read the Daily Mail. At least, think of her:

This was shocking but being shocking alone does not make it a Current Affair and there is already a thread on the story in its proper home: the Transportforum....

Stewart had denied the offence, claiming it was caused by a misunderstanding after he had too much to drink.
PS: Just got the thread title. Brilliant.
(Though it does indeed raise questions about the limits of personal freedoms. How on earth can one commit a breach of the peace in private? Had it been a lawful entrant to the defendant's own home who caught him at it, what would the verdict have been, and why should this be any different?)

Nobody has asked, how is the bicycle? Typical pcness, no one cares about the victim.

I'm sorry, but where was there a crime committed? Its hilarious all right, but to put the man on probation? Does he have a history of this sort of thing? Did he hurt anyone? Did the cleaners complain?
Sounds like there may be a little more to this than meets the eye?
If I could mass-sterilise the planet, I would. Seriously.
