The incident occurred on Friday, September 11, around 7pm. When the woman declined to engage with Odutola, he approached her, \"looked her up and down intimidatingly,\" and threatened her. He then exposed himself while seated in a wheelchair and masturbated while watching her. The woman was escorted off the train by another passenger, and CCTV footage showed Odutola continuing his actions. Odutola, a registered sex offender, pleaded guilty to outraging public decency and breaching a suspended sentence order after initially denying the allegations. The police emphasized that this was not the first instance involving Odutola, a registered sex offender, and vowed to pursue such offenders. They urged the public to report any sexual offenses witnessed or experienced on the railway.",
