A serial offender is back behind bars after he was seen masturbating at Selhurst railway station.
Leon Clarke committed the offence on Saturday July 18 and appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court two days later, where he pleaded guilty to outraging public decency.
The 51-year-old has a history of similar offending and in January received a suspended sentence for masturbating in front of a group of schoolgirls.
That offence took place in the waiting room at Carshalton Beeches train station in June 2025.

Three weeks before that incident, he received a £10 fine for seven other charges of exposure at train stations.
A court previously heard that Clarke has a "very low IQ" and learning difficulties but understands that his behaviour is wrong.
At Inner London Crown Court in January, a judge made a ten-year sexual harm prevention order which bans him from approaching, touching, or making any attempts to communicate with any unknown female in a public place.
The order also bans Clarke from sitting next to or opposite any lone female or child at a railway station or on public transport except where there are no other seats available.
Following his latest offending, Clarke was remanded in custody and will be sentenced again at Inner London Crown Court.
