Investigating officer Sgt Will Jones said: “This was a frightening and disturbing experience for the woman who was left shaken by what happened. Harrison's audacity and his blatant disregard for the victim have earned him a stint behind bars.“We will always take your reports seriously and we will not tolerate this type of behaviour on the railway. I urge anyone who is a victim of, or witness to, a sexual offence on the railway to report it to BTP by texting 61016 or via the Railway Guardian App. In an emergency, always call 999.”
