Why is a Trick Cyclist on the Sex Offenders’ Register?
From the Telegraph:
Robert Stewart was discovered in his room by two cleaners
at the Aberley House Hostel in Ayr, south west Scotland, in October last year.
On Wednesday Mr Stewart admitted to sexual breach of the peace in Ayr Sheriff Court, where depute fiscal Gail Davidson described how he had been found by the hostel workers.
She said: “They knocked on the door several times and there was no reply.
“They used a master key to unlock the door and they then observed the accused wearing only a white T-shirt, naked from the waist down.
“The accused was holding the bike and moving his hips back and forth as if to simulate sex.”
Both witnesses, who were extremely shocked, notified the hotel manager, who in turn alerted the police.
Mr Stewart was placed on the sex offenders’ register but his sentence was deferred until next month.
Have a chuckle by all means, but if the Telegraph Report is accurate (bear in mind the original source was the Sunday Mail), a man has had his life blighted for 3 years - and in some ways permanently - by a conviction for an activity in private in a hostel room interrupted by cleaning staff who walked in on him with by using their master keys. As Mr E has it:
But hang on here. Look past the comical aspect of this tale and get down to specifics. The guy is in his room, alone, and is accidentally discovered using an inanimate object (which presumably belonged to him) for sexual gratification - and he gets put on the fucking sex offenders’ register with rapists and child-sodomisers? What? What business is it of the state what he uses to get his rocks off in private?
How is a decision this stupid even possible? The person who really needs to walk in on a Trick Cyclist is depute fiscal Gail Davidson. The verdict is mad.
Not a court, but a lottery. There’s something very wrong here.
This is just crazy. Will the Government be issuing masturbation guidelines next? What a bunch of tossers.

Agreed, Shouldnt he chase these women for invasion of privacy under his human rights!!! This is an example of the gov going overboard, if you ask me even a bum pincher shouldnt end up on the same register as a paedophile or rapist. The government needs to ratify the Sex Offender’s register give it some real substance and address the concerns of the public. Anyone who get the sex offenders register is labelled a paedophile when in some cases they arent. They are then hounded out of their local community by the press, cant get jobs etcbecause they are a sex offender and uninformed people think the worst automatically…. Shoot 1st ask questions later scenario!!! Perhaps ther should be a paedophile and rapist register to identify the real threats to childrens and public safety, and reserve the sexual offences for numptys that have groped someone while dunk or pinched somebodys bottom or even done what this poor fellow did…. It’s ridiculous!!!
